Should you hire me? I'll give you 10 facts about myself. Decide for yourself:
1. As a kid I taught myself to program using Borland Turbo C++ for DOS and Deitel's C How to Program book
2. I've been on the internet since the days of Trumpet Winsock and NCSA Mosaic. I used HotDog to create my first website in 1997 (and yes, it had an under construction gif and a download Netscape link)
3. I've been a FreeBSD user since 2001, although at one point I administered a few Linux servers for a living
4. I was the sole developer of two different startups. One based in the UK (2006-2007) and another in Buenos Aires / New York (2010-2011). Details in résumé
5. I used to be active at Rent-a-Coder, my profile with a
decade long track record of perfect scores and rave reviews over a wide variety of technologies is still available: <a href="
6. At one point or another I've been paid to develop in Python, JavaScript, C, PHP, Perl, x86 Assembly, C++, Java, Matlab, Delphi and others
7. I've worked 10+ years remotely. Both with Americans and Europeans
8. I've taken a couple of years off here and there to travel around the world on a bike
9. I'm pragmatic and open to learn new technologies or frameworks. While I have my preferences, my skills are portable between stacks
10. I only post on these threads like once a year, so get in touch if you believe I may be a valuable addition to your team. I'm flexible about hours and would consider part-time, full-time or contract work
