Hi, seapiggies! If you're not in a position to recruit employees, feel free (but not obliged) to delete now.
A long-time denizen of this list, I'm a "Python Preferred" (my GPL slogan) "math/stats" programmer who's been toiling away the past three years in MATLAB and SQL Server (with a smidgen of Python early on) in a Project position with the Washington State Department of Ecology. The Project is in its denouement, so (to mix and excessively extend metaphors) its protagonist (moi) is looking for new plots to foil. My professional life (since 2002) may be perused here<http://www.linkedin.com/pub/david-goldsmith/11/124/4a9>; perhaps the one under-represented thing there is that I have a lot of recent experience working with SQL Server via (mostly) SQL Server Management Studio and MATLAB's database toolbox. I seek full-time, permanent, highly mathematical/statistical programming opportunities, preferably using Python (of course), and preferably in the Seattle/Portland I-5 corridor. My target salary is ~50$/hr (as an order-of-magnitude--I'd prefer a salaried, not an hourly, position), acceptable variation depending on both the position responsibilities and benefits. Aside from that, I'm pretty open: my interests run the gamut from finance through biosci, as well as the more traditional targets of engineering, physical science, and mathematics; about my only "deal breaker" is exclusively or primarily military applications (yes, I'm a peace-nik)--basically, if it involves computational math/stat modeling, I'm interested. Thanks for reading, and please let me know of any relevant opportunities of which you may become aware. OlyDLG PS: Oh, and my (soft) available date is July 1, 2013.
