SEEKING WORK - Colorado (Front Range, Denver, Boulder, FtC)
on-site possible as needed but off-site/REMOTE is ideal
programming since age 10. can do contract/freelance work (have done it many times successfully in the past for variety of clients/projects) and, among other experiences, was once a salaried staff senior software engineer for Orbitz in Chicago. wide variety of languages, platforms, tech stacks, domains. prefer Python, Java, C, Linux, Unixy &amp; open source ecosystem, CLI's and backends. web dev. mobile. desktop apps. games. performance &amp; scalability (and thus "Big Data"). tooling. automation. prototypes. startups. Read classic CS papers in bed at night for fun. Have designed and written my own software and brought to market. Python is my favorite language now but have had periods in the past where I did C or Java daily for many years. Experience as a startup CTO. Wrote a comedy novella and published that earlier this year. Maintain my own Rogue-like (on GitHub, in Python.) Written outline for a planned book on Software Performance &amp; Scalability and writing the first few chapters is underway. I have a track record of solving difficult technical problems that either stumped or were missed (or, often, caused) by previous developers, and of Getting Things Done. I ship. I love agile and I love iterating. And transparency and automation.
