I'm a web developer with 7+ years of professional experience. I love to be challenged with a problem and be given the opportunity to design and build the solution. While my main expertise is in front and backend web development, I've also been building iOS apps for the last 8 months. I'm good at quickly grasping new technologies or languages and using them to come up with creative solutions to business problems. I'm currently employed, but I'm open to new opportunities, networking, or fun side projects.

zumth

Stack: Security, verification of cryptographic protocols, developer (Perl and Java mostly)

Resume: http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~rjamet/CV.pdf, more details on previous work in http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~rjamet/

Contact: rjamet [AT] imag [DOT] fr

I'll send my PhD dissertation in a week or so, where I present 3 years of work on models and protocols for the security of wireless ad-hoc networks. I do not have any industrial experience yet, but three years of doctoral studies plus a total of a year of various internships make up for it. I have worked on routing protocols for ad-hoc networks, a model to analyze network-based intrusion detection systems based on their inputs, definitions of the very meaning of routing security, and before this, some work on the infrastructure for computing grids.

Asides from ad-hoc networks, I have kept up-to-date with other forms of security, through CTFs (Matasano's are awesome, by the way). I am still a developer at heart who loves to learn new things and make systems elegant. I also taught the basics of algorithmics and C at my university for the last three years. Although I am mostly using Perl these days, I do have some experience with Python, Ruby, C++, and Ada.

I am still unsure of what the next steps are for me. I have cultivated a strong variety of skills, and I would like to cultivate that variety and keep learning new things. If this rings true to you, and there is a need for people like me in your company, drop me a line !

At my current day job (a large megacorp), I build web applications and automation solutions using modern tools in support of internal workflow and process improvement. On a more general level, I love working with (and talking about) functional languages and write most of my code with a functional slant, and I'm comfortable working on both the front-end and back-end.

I'm in the "sniffing around" stage. I would like to get back to hardware-focused development, but I am still exploring my options. I figure this is a good way to find out who might be interested in my skillset for that type of work. Ideally, I would like to work on firmware and FPGA development, ASIC V&V, "big" or "little" embedded, or something similar. I'm open to any type of company; I mainly want good tools, flexible scheduling, a quiet environment, and no government contracting/security bullshit (after 12 years I'm tired of it).

I have a variety of experience acquired on my slightly winding career. I like variety and being a multidisciplined engineer. In addition to the electrical, systems, and software engineering experience I have some basic-level mechanical engineering knowledge. I also have a penchant for figuring out how things work.

I have already had a good contact off a prior incarnation of this thread; unfortunately it did not work out in the end.

[1] This requires explanation. My experience is in systems engineering by the INCOSE definition[2], not IT systems engineering. Adding to the title/skill confusion, I'm a decent sysadmin and know my way around Linux. I am not, IMO, good enough to get paid to be a sysadmin/devops/IT systems engineer. I don't really have a desire to be, either.

Resume: http://chrismorgan.info/resume.html

Email: me@chrismorgan.info

I enjoy work at all levels; backend, frontend, precise usability details, deep in the bowels of algorithms, metaprogramming where reasonable, web and non-web (but mostly web)—it’s all great fun.

I’m very much interested in improving the state of web development, something I’m pursuing in my spare time and why I’m using Rust; I’m speaking at Strange Loop later this year on the topic: https://thestrangeloop.com/sessions/fast-secure-safe-the-web.... With my goals in this way, I’m very much interested in learning new tools and new paradigms.
