Who am I
I*m passionate about software development. I learn fast. I analyze fast. I can tell you why I*m right. I*m not afraid to tell you when I don*t know.
Rolling through the 10th year of my professional programming career, I would put myself solidly in the *journeyman* phase. I am confident, opinionated, and vocal. But I*m aware of my limitations and the bounds of my skills and experience. I know when to say I don*t know, and when to shut up. I have made peace with the fact that in the software world, the things that I know are *right* today may be wrong next month, and laughable next year.
I call myself a "lazy programmer" because I value language expressiveness that keeps code short and sweet, and I'd rather use a quality library or tool that does what I need already than hack it together myself just to be clever. The software world is full of technology and tools written by smarter people than myself; it*s arrogant, naive, and just plain inefficient not to take advantage of them. I have a lot of RAM in my head, but it*s just a cache, and it pages out to Google.What do I want
When it comes to employment, I like to work with a team. I like to be humbled by my colleagues. A team I can*t learn anything from is a team not worth working with. I value trust, respect, honesty and reflection. Money is nice, but what motivates me is a company whose employees and teams are self-aware, reflective, and passionate about building the right thing and building it well.
I*m comfortable and experienced on the Microsoft stack, particularly with .NET, in client-server or batch apps. The world is moving to the web, to data services, to mobile, and to other stacks. I have only passing experience in those realms, but I am ready and able to learn and do new things. Web, Ruby, Android, NoSQL, continuous integration, and Linux top my hit list, and if you*re willing to ramp up a newb I can promise I won*t stay one for long.
Before I go on
Now that we*re introduced, you may want to know the gritty details. I*m about to roll through those, but first let me tell you that if you like what you see here, you can contact me about employment, consulting, or contract opportunities at mailto:abouhd@r.postjobfree.com@gmail.com. Relocation isn*t in my 5 year plan, but anything*s possible.
