Biography
I've been self-employed for a long time in various ways, including on-site consulting, software development, and electronic product design. I'm used to handling whatever needs to be done completely by myself, solving whatever problems arise, and figuring out how to do anything that is needs to be included in the project.
Skills
Go is a very good programming language that has become my favorite. But it is still just a tool out of all of the languages, tools, and technologies that I already know how to use, or will learn in the future.
On of my top skills is focusing is on getting things done to make ideas real. I'm good at learning and using any technologies that are best for getting things working.
As long as there is good communication happening, I'm very good at working alone, maintaining a clear focus on agreed-upon goals. I have good social skills and enjoy talking and writing, and what's more important is that I like to listen to what everyone has to say. I'm very good at communicating in English with people who speak English as a second language. I typically use very few idioms, idiomatic expressions, or phrasal verbs that are often problematic for non-native speakers.
What I look for
I am already very good at programming in Go, and want a job that will allow me to use it, and that will help me to completely master the language.
I am interested in command-line tools and utilities, language development, cross-platform GUI applications, web development (full stack, with web services and/or microservices on the server side, and WebAssembly or JavaScript on the client side), WebRTC, and other things.
I will probably fit best into a small company that understands the value of a diverse, creative group, or a somewhat larger company that has grown from, or has fully adopted DevOps culture. But really, all I need is to be working with good engineers and good people who are focused on producing good things.
I am available for remote work only.
