victornomad··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (October 2026)
Location: Berlin, Germany

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Maybe (Spain or within the EU)

Technologies: LLMs, agentic workflows, RAG, TypeScript, React, React Native / Expo, Svelte, Vue, Node, Deno, Supabase / Postgres, Python, Figma.

I'm Victor, a product engineer and interaction designer, fifteen years in. I started my career in satellite engineering. Since then: sensor networks, robots, Android, frontend, design systems, backends, and a lot of design in between. In the AI era, generalist is probably the right word for it.

Right now I'm building a dark factory for my own projects. Forgejo is the control surface. The agents have their own machines with root. Work enters as an issue, they build, they open the PR. I review and merge. Recurring jobs run weekly to keep every project fresh on its own.

My design work changed the same way. Rough sketch in, agents compose the view from a design system they are not allowed to leave, audit catches the drift. Generative UI too. LLM Party (https://llmparty.pixeletes.com) is where those experiments go, along with the rest of my LLM ones.

Looking for: a product team building with agents, where range across design, frontend and backend counts as an advantage.

Notes on all of it, including the agent setup: https://victor.pixeletes.com

I'm Victor, a product designer who writes production code, fifteen years in. I can carry the backend and I have led teams, but I engage most with the user-facing parts. I'm most useful where design and build are the same job: 0-to-1 products.

Recent side work: LLM Party (https://llmparty.pixeletes.com), a set of LLM experiments, and SketchJam, a multiplayer creative-coding party game.

Hi! This is Victor,

For the last years I've been floating in between product design / product engineering / design engineering.

I have a background in engineering. My career started making satellite firmware but I moved to user facing areas.

I've been working a lot with AI recently creating very interesting tools, workflows and UIs. I'd be happy to have a call and show some cool stuff!

My strengths are:

  UI, UX, interaction design beyond screens
  Prototyping complex and creative apps, Creative coding
  Tech Stack: I love user facing things (React, expo, etc) but these days with agentic coding basically anything.

Nice!! Just applied!
victornomad··on An AI Vibe Coding Horror Story
A similar thing happened to me back in the day when Wi-Fi was still new.

I joined an open network and it turned out to be a law firm. All their computers were on a Samba network with full C: drives shared. I wrote README.txt files on their drives telling them about the issue, but after some time it was still the same.

Then I went directly to the place to talk to them and also with the idea I could land my first job fixing that mess. But... They got incredibly angry with me, since they claimed they had some very good and expensive contractors taking care of their computers and network, and that I had basically broken in.

I left the place quickly...

victornomad··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (December 2025)
I've been working on LLMParty for some months. It is a collection of experiments that use LLM under the hood. For each experiment I tried to play with something different, such interaction, LLM knowledge, use, etc

If you have to try one I recommend this

btw, models can be changed easily, right now it uses Gemini flash 2.5 for image description and flux schnell for image generation
victornomad··on Chatbot with Lazy Mode (LLMParty)
Hi HN! I've been working on a series of small experiments that use LLMs under the hood.

For the first one, I made a typical chatbot UI but with a twist: you can enable a mode that writes the user interactions on your behalf. Peak laziness!

victornomad··on Tinnitus Neuromodulator
The point of the white noise in TRT is not masking the tinnitus so it is not played loud.

The white noise must be played below the level of the tinnitus, so one can hear both sounds simultaneously. Doing so, in theory, the brain learns to reclassify the tinnitus as an unimportant signal (noise).

victornomad··on Tinnitus Neuromodulator
I started having tinnitus in both ears 10 months ago.

I don't know the exact cause, but I started noticing it during a job-related burnout and a series of work-related events that significantly increased my stress levels.

It was so bad to the point I had to abruptly quit my job (FYI, freelancing without a safety net sucks).

My doctor gave me pills to help calm my brain and the noise, especially during the night. I also have hypersensitivity, so having a constant noise ringing was not ideal :/

Luckily my ENT doctor recommended that I do multiple things at the same time:

    - tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT), listening to white noise ~4 hours a day
    - going to a therapist
    - daily meditation
    - daily exercise
    - reducing salt, chocolate, coffee, etc.
The hissing is still there, but I can now ignore it most of the time.

I started to see life a bit differently since then. Things that disrupt your life can happen so suddenly...

I'm still trying to find a job, but I lost a lot of confidence and developed a bit of a trauma since I don't want to experience burnout again :/

victornomad··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (October 2025)
I'm working on a series of "fun experiments" that use LLMs under the hood.

Some are small tech jokes, while others were born from curiosity to see how LLMs would behave in specific scenarios and interactions.

I also tried to use this collection of experiments as a way to land a new job, but I'm starting to realize it might not be serious enough :)

Happy to hear what you think!

Not really, their aim is to reach a 2%, I think the current number is waaaaaay lower. Ton Roosendaal mentioned it during the Blender Conference 2024 Keynote

victornomad··on Squatting in Spain: Understanding Spain's "okupas" problem
propaganda and lies from a company that profits from this...

1) Squatters squat empty buildings that have been empty for years, not personal homes...

2) If your home is squatted that's an infringement. The police will come and detain the people inside.

-

Who profits from this propaganda?

i) Owners with dozens / hundreds or thousands of houses (such funds)

ii) Security and insurance companies

iii) Extreme right. The use this to capture the vote of normal people being afraid

iv) Right wing in general (who are the land owners of Spain) because this might lead to have laws that benefit themselves for continuing speculating with the house market

(edit formatting)

victornomad··on Squatting in Spain: Understanding Spain's "okupas" problem
Most of the construction happened in touristic areas and for speculation. There is not a lack of housing in Spain.

The biggest issue there is how shitty funds and speculators are screwing the market so normal people cannot buy a house.

victornomad··on EU opens formal investigation into TikTok over possible online content breaches
Germany got a bit off-rails during the last months. Any critique towards Israel’s actions it is called antisemitism.

As an example, this event organised by jewish people to talk about peace have been marked as antisemite by the government and lead to funding cancellation of a cultural center.

this sounds quite sad.

I'm also experiencing the hottest 1st October I had in my life, around 27° C. Everybody is outside in t-shirt when the usual thing is to wear a jacket in 15-18° C...

It is quite scary :/
