I have been setting up custom software for small clients: automated systems both numerical and NLP based for a small hedge fund and for another client I worked with their software and hardware team to expedite development of their cloud data sharing service as well as their pressure sensor algorithms.

Quick overview of some research positions I've held; simulating offshore wind turbine designs, creating HMM/disease clusters for GE Healthcare, testing new gravitational communication model with data from AT&T as well as Telecom Italia.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

when I see programmers who know so many languages, I feel like I have no chance and I dont bother to apply, but thankfully I have a lot of ideas of my own.I hope you will accept a worthy offer, because not many employers can understand beside languages how long it takes to learn all the other technologies.

Don't be discouraged by this: Actually knowing many programming languages in itself is not something more employers are looking for. The skill is being able to learn a new language/framework, and if you have some experience building something in 3 or 4 languages (even if you're not necessarily an 'expert'), that's a pretty good indicator you can learn a new one. In general, people with more experience have more langu…

That's the reason why I've listed so many: I try to challenge myself to learn something quickly.

The other reason is my mathematics background.

For instance, I'm not very strong in Haskell, but I can do a thing or two in it and move forward in -thinking- in the functional paradigm.

At present, I think I could manage writing "production grade" code in a handful of those languages, and have only spent a non-trivial amount of time in C++, PHP and JavaScript.

Testing is also a weak area of mine.

Take that for what you will.

Primarily worked in marketing development roles. Extensive background with running online marketing campaigns, and managing Facebook ads (ran a $40k/mo FB ad budget for a SaaS startup with great success). Willing to take a marketing or dev role, or something multi-discipline. I've built custom WordPress plugins and themes. I use Django for several of my own sites. Have used Backbone/Marionette in the past, and started using Angular 2 for new projects.

I'm extremely capable, a fast learner, and can fill many roles with a small team. I have years of remote experience. Currently doing marketing consulting under my own business, but interested in joining a team.

I've been passed up more times than I've been given a chance.

Several of my colleagues from school that have less experience than I already have jobs, and I'm just sitting around looking for work still and waiting for my teaching contract to come back.

Please, please, please don't be discouraged.

Please, please, please keep on truckin'.
