When you say "So, yeah, we need you!", How do you mean? Your careers page doesn't reflect this. https://www.directrelief.org/about/job-opportunities/

He gave an answer with no substance.

Nothing about "here is how we are using tech", or "here are some good resources" (a quick email to his HR could point to where they hire from).... He said there was a need and provided no path for someone looking to help to fulfill that need.

I'm also an exp SW dev (and head of eng) and you asked a similar question to what I was going to. Please let me know if you find a meaningful answer. I'd love to find an org that was looking to solve problems with an outcomes/ product approach, including tech.

There are open source projects like openlmis or open health records. The way they are organised (roadmaps, product backlog) can be impenetrable at times. And as OS, they are not career choices.

My career has been in technology. In the last few years, I've done frontline volunteering (Greece, Libya) with refugees and I've gotten the bug to do more and more humanitarian work. Where do you see the biggest opportunity for technology to bolster the efforts in the broad umbrella of disaster relief, conflict resolution, and humanitarian aid in general? TIA.

Lol, that's not an attack. No name calling, no unfounded accusations.

Simply a contextual ask for detail and a more thoughtful answer. I think that falls under "anything".
