| At some point in time I will put my full resume here. I am reluctant to post
it now because I am not currently looking for a job and don't want
to be tempted by any good offers that come along.
In case you really must know, here are some highlights:
- I have a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics degree, with Distinction - I learned most
of my software skills on the job.
- I have over 14 years software development experience. A good portion of my time
was spent with embedded systems, but I also have plenty of experience with
application development for Windows and Unix/Linux hosts.
- Plenty of experience with TCP/IP. I wrote my own web server and firewall for
Win2k/XP many other similar sorts of projects.
- I have over 10 years of experience with the VxWorks RTOS. I know that OS inside and out and
fully fluent in real-time multi-threaded software development.
- I have plenty of experience as a Windows NT/2000/XP and Linux System Administrator - when I encounter
problems I investigate them and understand why they happened, unlike many IT support folks who simply
re-install/re-image systems without every learning anything.
- I held various positions from Software Designer to Software Architect.
- I was intimately involved in all aspects of software development from
project planning, high level design, detailed design, coding, and testing.
- I have written and reviewed all kinds of documentation.
- I have plenty of experience with object oriented analysis and design.
- I am fluent in many languages from assembly to C/C++ and Java. I also know many
scripting languages (Perl, Php, JavaScript, Bash, etc.) and various aspects for web site
development from HTML coding and cgi-bin script to Apache and MySQL server administration.
- Prior to my career in the high tech industry, I had plenty of experience
in the construction industry. I operated heavy equipment for many years, I've
driven tractor trailer units, gravel trucks, redimix trucks, as well as various
kinds of farm equipment. I also did plenty of hands on work and even know how to swing
a hammer and run a saw.
- I also have experience as a mechanic, both automotive and heavy equipment
and I even did auto body work for a while.
- My greatest strengths are my problem solving skills and ability to learn new things.
I could go on, but as mentioned above this is only meant to provide some of
the highlights of my resume and a more complete resume will be provided when I'm interested
in finding a new job. At this time I am seriously considering starting up my
own consulting business instead of returning to work for someone else full time,
however I am in no rush for that.
