I`m a professional .NET developer and researcher, and I`m looking currently to either start a coding research agency, or be adopted by one! I am eager to start working either for myself or for a larger entity that would be eager to invest in my many and varied ideas. Especially one that values the principles of research and growth, rather than a safe but `static` product life-cycle. That said, I am open to most any approach as long as the project is fascinating, and most importantly, Ethical! Due to a number of issues, it is essential for me to find a position where I am able to work from home entirely. I am susceptible and at significant risk to a Covid infection, so 100% remote is incredibly important to me. I love contributing to Stack Exchange, it`s a great tool for teaching and learning, quite often in the same question! I have practical and professional experience in C#, SQL (Oracle, MS, MySQL and *Gres), ASP.Net, ASP, C++, PHP, Java, JavaScript/HTML/CSS, XML/XSD/XSLT, Cold fusion, Python and I have also dabbled in purely functional languages, Haskell primarily. I am familiar and comfortable with Git and SVN, some small experience with Mercurial, MSS and CVS. I have heard of Perforce! I have developed in many different arenas, from Support software to Business operations to Financial services to Demo coding. To me Software development, and the commitment to it, is as much a lifestyle as a career choice; In my personal experience, the best and most motivated (and sometimes most genius) coders are the ones who`ve taught themselves as much as anything else; people for whom programming doesn`t stop at 5pm in the evening, heck! - people who often don`t stop coding until 5am. In fact, the kind of people who are still on Stack Overflow at 2am when they need to be up for work in 5 hours, because they can`t rest until they`ve solved that problem . So; I`ll try to answer questions when I don`t have a confident basis in the subject area, because learning the answer is just as important as understanding the question. NB: I`m a terrible dyslexic; please be kind! ©
