Dear reader:

I am very interested in spending the next 3-10 years in the EU. My preference is Germany, as I have several years of University training in speaking German, but I believe in learning the language where I live and assimilating. President-elect Macron made several remarks in February which seized my attention towards France, and I am studying France & French now consequently. My perception is that my lifestyle would suit the EU reasonably well.

I have approximately 20 years programming experience, approximately 8 years industry experience, approximately 4-5 years university programming experience as a RA, approximately 2 years of German language training, and a Bachelor's & Master's degree in computer science from a US university. I've mostly worked in enterprises and have worked as an unofficial tech lead in each one. My technology history is highly polyglot and on the backend or in the "DevOps"/SRE side. I frequently spend my evenings on my own projects, occasionally open source.

I have a very boring life: no criminal convictions, a wife and child, several quiet hobbies, enjoy long rides on public transit, good cheese, etc. We all have up-to-date passports. In this sort of thing, I believe I make a very good employee.

You want to hire me because you want to hire someone focused on quality day in, day out, but with an eye towards the business and taking leadership. Possibly you are ready to start a quality push and need a new architect who will argue for this. Possibly you need to reorganize your DevOps team and need a tech lead or manager who can dual-wield both code and work with the needs of the institution. In any case, you want to hire me because you need someone to be a dissenter. I am not making a joke: If you want a regular worker who doesn't make waves, you don't want to hire me.

Regrettably, I do not have a work visa, so I am putting out this inquiry with the preface: we will need to organize the paperwork to make everything in order, and thus - the earliest I could start would be early 2018.

Regards, A. Rattie.

Email: glennpeter.espinosa [at] gmail.com

Software engineer with 2+ years experience and extensive healthcare domain experience (5+ years as a Registered Nurse). But you don't have to be a healthcare startup to get me interested.

I've done startups in the past and am pragmatic about what technologies to use and the internal struggle between code quality vs fast iteration. Sometimes, you can get the best of both, and thats what I try to strive for.

Looking for a small, talented, fast paced team to work with.
