I'm a strong developer with a lot of experience, especially with JS and Web technologies. I've worked everywhere from tiny startups up to huge megacorps and also run my own business before.
I currently work remote for IBM on the Watson team, doing mostly developer experience work (SDKs, demos, example code, etc.) + some internal tooling work to automate various processes.
The Watson group has a new manager that wants everyone to move to a small handful of cities, and I'm not in a good position to do that at the moment. I've requested an exception, but if that gets denied, then I'll be moving on to a new position.
There are a couple of other managers outside of the Watson group that want to hire me already, so there's not much chance that I'll actually be unemployed, but I thought this may be a good opportunity to look around and see what else is available.
Things I'm good at and enjoy doing:
* JavaScript: This is kind of my specialty - I've been writing AJAX-driven web apps since before jQuery even existed, and working with Node.js since v0.2.
* Developer Experience / API design and development: essentially UI and UX for developers :) I have a lot of experience here.
* Automation: I'm a big fan of Continuous Integration &amp; Deployment, which essentially means I'm good at writing unit tests, integration tests, etc. I also like to automate business processes to speed things along.
* Open Source: I like doing Open Source work, and I believe that there is often significant value to be gained by releasing certain components of your codebase.
* IoT: I'm not really an expert here, but I've done a few projects with Arduino, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi, etc. and had a lot of fun.
If this sounds like it may be a good fit for your business, please get in touch. I might just be the purple unicorn that you've been looking for ;)
