SEEKING WORK - remote development and mentoring (Israel), on-site training
I am a full-stack Web developer (since 1993) and an independent consultant (since 1995). I set up one of the 100 Web sites in the world, write the monthly Web technology column for Linux Journal, and have a PhD in Learning Sciences from Northwestern University.
Currently, I spend half of my time helping developers to use open-source tools more effectively. I teach Python, Ruby/Rails, PostgreSQL, and Git to individuals and companies (including Apple, Cisco, HP, SANDisk, and VMWare), in the US, Europe, Israel, and China. I also give free Webinars, curate <a href="http://DailyTechVideo.com/" >, and spoke at December's <a href="http://hacksummit.org/" >.
My ebook, "Practice Makes Python" (<a href="http://lerner.co.il/practice-makes-python" >), gives Python developers a chance to improve their skills after taking a course, but before embarking on real-world projects.
In addition to formal courses, I offer mentoring and code-review services. If you are a new programmer, then I can help you to avoid pitfalls and mistakes. If your team is new to a set of technologies, I can improve your processes and code quality, on a one-time or ongoing basis. I have done this for such companies as SAP and Fiverr, with great success.
In addition to my work as a trainer and mentor, I do software development projects, generally using one or more of the technologies mentioned above. Such projects range from simple database optimizations to full-scale Web development projects.
I like to speak with and help nice people with interesting projects, and feel privileged that my work lets me do so.
