Biography
I started coding as a kid when, more than 20 years ago, my dad helped me write a BASIC program to approximate pi. I quickly went on to make mouse-controlled games, explore fractals, and experiment with audio. Now I have a BS in computer science and mathematics, and some diverse experiences to draw from.

I spent 3 great years working on an agile team of ten. Then I decided to expand my horizons in academia, earning a masters degree and working for 3 years on a PhD in evolutionary robotics. Now, after a year writing Go for my own joy, I'm returning to industry.

I like to stay fit, eat well, and stare in awe at the stars. Also, when the weather is good, soar like a bird (in a sailplane).

Skills
• Good communicator. Quick to learn new skills, languages, technologies.
• Love to work closely with others (a good way to learn and share), but perfectly capable alone.
• TDD and Scrum for 3 years -- they are very effective methodologies.
• Machine learning, genetic algorithms.
• GUI programming (Qt, Cocoa, Windows Forms, rolled my own framework in Go), some OpenGL.
• Digital signal processing.
• API design; see, e.g., https://code.google.com/p/portaudio-go/, in which I adapted the PortAudio C interface to Go.
• Parallel programming, especially in Go.
• I haven't done any web or mobile programming but I am interested in gaining some experience.
• Languages: Go, Python, C#, C/C++, Objective-C, Smalltalk, Java, Ruby, LISP, ... most languages can be learned quickly once you know a few.

What I look for
I would prefer to work on a team doing open source Go, but I am open to most anything.
Pretty much anywhere, for some value of "anywhere" ;-) That is, I am open to relocation, but of course it depends on the location and the job.
