SEEKING WORK | Greater Toronto Area, Canada | Remote w/Travel
Hi I'm Dennis Forbes. For two decades I've been building large scale, high performance systems in the financial and telecom industry. I've led teams and was the architectural/technology lead for a mid-sized NYC financial organizations (Vastardis Capital Services which has been acquired several times since).
I've been declared a specialist in a number of realms over my career - an SQL guru, a data warehousing expert, a high performance data expert, a low-level embedded software guru, a web app magician, but the truth is that I don't like to be typecast and I've done just about everything to success. I made a lauded video processing / analysis app for Android, I've made a number of heavily used online tools, I love just about every discipline of software development. I bring a pretty well-turned heuristic for finding the ideal solutions to problems, whatever the problem is, and guiding the implementation (which can mean being responsible for 100% of the implementation).
I've taken some downtime to spend with my young children and have been working for myself for a couple of years. Social anxiety, however, makes it tough to scrounge up work so I'm open to whatever comes my way.
Databases of all sorts. C#. C++. Java/Kotlin. Go. Python. Machine learning. Swift. iOS. Mobile (Android and iOS). Windows. OSX. Whatever. I do it well. Very well.
