I am looking for a short term internship (around 3 months) or a full time position. I am interested in machine learning and data science opportunities. My background is in genetics, so in my free time, I like to catch up on computer science (like algorithms, data structure, and etc.) and statistics.

I've done paid work in C#, C, C++, Objective-C, Python, Java, Javascript, x86 Assembly, a variety of flavors of SQL, Silverlight, Actionscript, Go, Node... Probably other things off the top of my head.

The thing is, I'm only really good at C# and C++. Most of the above languages use similar paradigms and just have some different syntax. The skill I actually want when I hire people is willingness to work on something they don't understand really well and get better at it. It takes a long ass time to get to very high levels of proficiency (where you understand all the underlying details of how memory works and the odd little bits about the compiler/interpreter/runtime) and I DON'T operate at that level with most of the languages I "know".

Many jobs don't actually require you to use windbg to track down issues in the .NET garbage collector. Situations like that are also highly varied and it's not something you can 'train' for, you just have to cultivate the skill of constant discovery.

Location: New York, Los Angeles

I've lead technology and product at several successful companies, and I'm always on the lookout for another interesting company. I'm interested in working in a CTO/interim role, outreach and evangelism, lead technologist (e.g., VP, Dir. Eng.), or first-hire/proof-of-concept technologist. I'm very hands-on, actively making software, and I'm also good with a budget.

I'd also be interested in hearing from those working in banking, financial reporting, accounting, etc., as I have expertise in this area that may be useful.
