I've built a fair few open-source projects with small teams of four, and now I'd like to sling code as part of a company! I work with JavaScript presently, though I'd like to branch out into Java and Python (or should I do Ruby instead of Python? Some other language altogether? Feel free to advocate at me in the comments). I like both front-end and back-end work... It's nice that thanks to Node and MongoDB it's possible to be 100% JavaScript in your apps these days, though the API interfaces to other languages/databases generally feel very natural as well.

More project info & links, previous posts )

One of the neat things about the interviewing I've been doing is that I get to see a wide cross-section of the people who work in software development: there are people who have been working in the field since 1978 and have used every language that's come along in that time, and there are people who graduated their bootcamp last summer. Excited founders, people from other fields who learned rudimentary Python to desperately try to surf their wave of data, recruiters who seem to be honestly thrilled about their company....

I'm a meticulous, user-focused, communicative, easy-going, steely-eyed reliable developer, and I'd love it if you phoned or emailed or commented about Bay Area jobs that you'd like to see me at. Here's my resume with my contact info!

Nice to see that taking notes and having soft skills are called out as useful. When I trained people in science, taking notes was 1:1 the sign of someone who was going to be more helpful than not.
