My name's Sebastian and I'm looking to expand my horizons and those around me (UK, London). I love systems thinking but am a web developer by trade. I particularly enjoy RESTful API design. My favourite language is Python, but day-to-day I code in PHP with sprinklings of Javascript. I also love the concepts in Haskell but as of today I find it very difficult to get my brain to work in that way. ;)

Action is an art and I draw on anything at my disposal to solve problems. I am brazen in learning new things and busy myself exploring all sorts of disciplines. I am interested in development, product design and management. This might scream "somebody that hasn't yet settled on one specialism" but what it really means is that I am an integrator.

I'm looking to join a team that love software and creating beautiful products. I know a bunch of languages but my top 3 are C++/python/javascript. Although I would consider working elsewhere, I am really focused on staying in Boston, MA. I've worked on a bunch of interesting projects, please take a look at my linkedin profile (http://goo.gl/5hTHi) for details.

Thomas Macdonald, I live in France, but am British. I know C++ and C on Linux, Java, PHP, and JavaScript but I love learning new languages so have touched on Python, Clojure, bash, perl and even a bit of Brainfuck in my spare time.

I have a MSc in CS, with a focus on Operations Research since 2010.

I am looking for a small company, preferably in the US, but Europe works too, and I'll do backend web development, and/or optimisation software.

I would love to have the opportunity to learn a new skill, like Node or Ruby, but perfecting a current one would be fine too.

Also I speak flawless french.

My Linkedin profile is http://www.linkedin.com/in/tommacdo

I'm not really looking for work, but something sufficiently cool could convince me to leave academia. My experience is mostly numerical/parallel computation and Monte Carlo, lots of C++ and decent Python experience, with some electronics stuff for fun in my spare time. I'd be particularly interested in projects involving both hardware and software, since my original degree was in applied physics and think astrophysic…

FYI, if you are looking for mind-blowing amounts of money and don't mind either Chicago or NY, your background is loved by folks in the financial industry.

Yeah... but I do mind NY. And I really mind the financial industry... ;-)

Looking for: Internship, summer 2012

Keywords: Python, Visualization, Numerical Analysis, Machine Learning

Name: Pratik Mallya, Graduate Student of CS @ UIUC.

Area: anywhere in contiguous US

Github: https://github.com/pratikmallya

Homepage: https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/mallya2/www/index.html

Beginner, but I learn quickly. Interested in any work which requires creative and original thinking (and better if a lot of math as well :) . I'm a moderate level Python programmer, but I'm learning continuously. I'm familiar with visualization software such as VTK, ParaView etc. In my last internship, I rewrote a plugin for ParaView that allowed a visualization to be run on a laptop instead of a SGI Altix Supercomputer, and I did this in 2 weeks with no prior knowledge of ParaView or C++ (I do know C very well though)

Hi, I'm Matt Hippely in Erie, CO (near (Denver/Boulder). This is my second career and I am a web programmer. (php/JavaScript/css/html). I have worked for several of the boutique web companies around Boulder doing things like: legacy bug fixes and enhancements to Zend applications, writing PHPUnit tests for an existing application, design and implement a customer catalog that can 1) be administered with a (simple) custom cms and also takes advantage of localStorage when users iOS device is offline. Other web stuff includes debugging cross brewer functionality and display issues. For database stuff I have always used MySql.

I have also done basic sys admin stuff - compiling ffmpeg for web and iOS optimized videos, integrating LibreOffice into an application for converting MS Office documents. I am comfortable on the command line and use emacs to edit most files.

I'm also open to remote but don't have any real experience on remote teams.

My previous career was in Biotechnology. I worked in the small molecule/drug discovery department of a large company and ran an LC-MS/MS instrument, collected data and compiled spreadsheets. That is where I learned about the power of automation with VBA to generate my run reports and set up my email releases to the team.

While at the large biotech company I did go back via night classes and get a second degree in comp sci; with regards to programming, I am self-taught.
