   Hello, fediverse!

   I am looking for contract work, or ideally full time employment. My financial situation is delicate at this time. I can start virtually immediately.

   I have significant experience in C++, Python, Ruby, and C, including Linux internals: both the kernel and userspace components. My ideal work would involve one of those. I also know Perl, shell, and Rust, though I am still learning Rust.

   I have done automation work, including setting up CI/CD pipelines in Travis and GitHub Actions for a greenfield team at IBM. I use GitLab personally and believe in the best of agile and waterfall techniques (sprints and retrospectives, but also a focus on documenting use cases). I love teaching team members - knowledge sharing is one of my favourite team activities.

   I require a remote-only role due to my disabilities, but I'm a self-starter that is passionate about software engineering, so I will always bring dedication and a sense of purpose to your organisation.

   Please boost!

     I have many soft skills, including presenting technical content in an easy-to-digest way, security engineering including threat modelling and change controls, and assisting teams to come to agreements in a fair and pragmatic way.

     I have been active in Libre Software / OSS since 2003.

     I also know Windows and Apple platforms (Mac OS, iOS, iPadOS, tvOS). This includes Cocoa and MFC, in addition to some passing exposure to .NET.
