I am looking for a Programming/Team Leader job. I have decades of programming skills in several languages and other non-techie skills (documentation, teaching, team management, some marketing) and a passion for work and innovative style that has given me a career history of doing the job of 2-3 employees at the cost of 1.
Geographically I am willing to work anywhere in US or abroad if the opportunity is right. I hope to interview several places in February sand decide where to work starting sometime in March after I research each company that made me offers to ensure that the company I spend next 5-10 years of my life is the correct one. I am in Japan till Jan 27th but can easily make phone calls from here to US (with no fees -- amazing) if any headhunters or employers have specific questions my resume does not answer. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is best way to contact me http://www.learnasp.com/resume has my resume in Word document format. It needs some polishing which I will be doing as I get feedback from recruiters, headhunters or specific employers about anything they consider needs expansion or clarification. In addition to my resume I bring code samples, magazine articles I wrote, samples of documentation I have written and a sterling set of references from past supervisors about my ability to do whatever the company needed with high quality standards and results including happy clients that interacted with mine and my team's code and User Interfaces. I am well known for doing the job of 3 or more employees at the cost of 1 and having enough technicals peers as resources worldwide that reduce outside consulting fees to minimum on projects most would pay through the nose on consulting fees. What I am looking for ideally is a job (or series of consulting assignments managed by one firm that salaries me or provides me with fair hourly rate and steady work with long hours) that allows me to do lots of CMS/Portal installation, setup and module writing (DotNetNuke, Plumtree, Sharepoint/MSCMS, etc.) and/or leading a team doing the same.And if the CMS systems I work with happen to be Linux/Mac.Unix based that is fine too. I am not religous about platform. Wherever quality software lives I will use it, and master it inside out. Because my kids and wife will be in Japan for 2-3 more years for 8 months of the year if a job involves a lot of travel that is fine with me. If a job requires wearing a few "hats" (customer service, DBA work, some server admin) beyond coding I enjoy the challenge and thanks to my community involvement for last 8 years I have a ton of world class experts to consult (book writers, component vendors, recognized international experts) by email and on my cell phone speed dial that owe me many favors so I can get a quality of tech support answers for a company on tough issues few others could muster. For those not familiar with the 15+ years of my career where I am not teaching my forte as a coder was making code FAST: 100 - 1000 x faster than anyone dreamed literally even after a half dozen programmers before me tried to speed up the code. My portfolio includes 1. writing new sections and rewriting a software manual for a very large expensive programming library -- I have sample of the old version of my manual and the new version I wrote (with hundreds of revisions and expansions and re-organization efforts can be compared side-by-side) to see how my documentation skills are I think better than most in the field. 2. Tech Support "on the line" and as a supervisor. As a tech support person I handled higher volumes of calls with greater quality than my co-workers and invented many utilities my co-workers did not think of to permanently end troubleshooting problems in seconds by running the utility rather than tedious volleys of questions and answers with the users. 3. Building product communities via NNTP, UserGroups and Listservers/Groups and promoting the communities in attracting the right talent to assure very high % answer ratio. 4. Business management and marketing experience in and out of computer/coding field. 5. Ability to save a company that hires me some yearly budget by doing their in-house training at same quality level as commercial firms if needed. ------------------------ Yahoo!
