Hi, I'm Dan and I'm looking to return to software development after a very long break (10+ years). During that time, I worked as a self-employed investor on the stock market (sounds fancier than "reading most of the time"), but in the end I failed. Meanwhile, programming took a back seat, and I often didn't do much more than the annual "Advent of Code" challenges (in Haskell, resp. Rust last year).
In my previous tech life I did a four year IT apprenticeship (Pascal/Delphi, Java) in the industry, worked two years as a software engineer (ASP) at a web agency, got a B.Eng. in CS (mainly Java), did some freelancing (PHP), was a core-contributor to two open source projects (PHP), and wrote a tech blog.
My focus right now is on returning to software development in a backend role. However, I'm also open for other opportunities as I'm currently at a point where I have to reinvent myself anyway.
Thanks for reading.
