I am a software developer coder.
- I like solving problems
- I love writing code
- I live for opportunities to write code that solves problems
An insatiable ParaHacker, I have experience teaching technology, am comfortable presenting to a large group of people, have proven skills as a technical writer and I am willing to travel worldwide.
In a career that spans multiple decades I have written and rewritten a Resume dozens of times. Always the "Format du Jour" is simply a modification of the presentation but in the same form: a 'page' of text, like a sales letter, describing your most valued attributes as an employee and your past experience as a history.
That device - the Resume - is as old and inflexible as the Facsimile Machine. I find it quite anachronistic each time I use my computer to write up a document that will be ultimately printed on paper describing my skills and experience in using a computer to write something far more useful and impactful (e.g. software applications)!
It simply makes sense that my Resume should exist in a format like this.
If you need an experienced, skilled and highly-creative developer (one who regularly thinks out-of-the-box; but hesitates to use an overworked cliche like 'out-of-the-box') don't hesitate to submit a Pull Request to this repository.
If you prefer to keep one foot in the 20th century you can also send me an email message.
