Not looking for a job either but definitely looking for an internship for the coming winter or next summer. I am a student studying Information and Communication Technology, entering my third year. I have experience in working with C/C++, Python , Java, Qt4 bindings for python.

I have just started my blog: http://www.zarthon.wordpress.com

I'm looking - currently in SF bay area physics PhD program, working on computational condensed matter physics. Physics&Math degree, good CS background as well (mostly python, also C, C++, others in passing) as part of undergrad studies/current research/current side projects but no 'official' dev/work experience, if you get what I mean. Planning to take a year or more off from degree program to work on a startup or similar - I kind of imagine myself coming in somewhere between an intern and and engineer. Hoping to stay in SF area for now. I'd be happy to send a resume, too. email: renwar11@gmail.com

I'm not really looking for a job currently, but I'm interested in who would find someone with my skill set useful: Ph.D. in astrophysics, 15yr research experience, lots of coding in C++ and Python (mostly numerical, Monte Carlo, parallel computation, radiation transfer stuff). In general a pretty all-round kind of guy.

If an opportunity came along, I would be interested in something where I could use my knowledge of physics and coding for something more "applied" and immediately useful to humanity than astrophysics. Ring any bells?

I am a fun and outgoing guy looking for a strategist or community management type position. I've got some dev experience (LAMP, JS, ~python, working on jquery) and a minor in CS, but coding full-time gives me cabin fever of the brain.

I'm super curious, intellectually fearless, and willing to relocate (currently in Chicago; would prefer SF.) Contact info is in my profile.

BSCS grad looking for an entry-level backend webdevelopment type position. Main experience with python/django but willing to learn ruby/rails or even PHP for the right position. Willing to relocate to a major population center - not a fan of the middle of nowhere :)

Contact is in profile if you'd like my resume/site.

I'm looking for something interesting.

Me: just graduated from university; I'm good at engineering big things, backend development (python and some C/C#), data analytics, and predictive models. I like the type of challenges that keep you up thinking. I gained a fair bit of startup experience for the past few years in undergrad.

Feel free to shoot me a message: alex.harrower@hotmail.com. (no, thats not my real name. I just started f/t with a big company, so sorry for the anonymity. :)

I'm about 4 years out of school (no degree - 3 year diploma + some university). I'm a Canadian looking to go to SoCal preferably. I've been doing iPhone stuff for the past two years - mostly video/image post-processing with OpenGL. Starting on some Android stuff too. I'm more of a "guts" guy than a UI guy though, so I enjoy trying to push these devices to do cool new things. I like C, C++ is okay, Java I need to re-familiarize myself with (due to Android) and I'm getting comfortable with ARM Assembly but I'm still working on getting better at it.

I'm looking for a full/part-time job either remote or on-site near SF or downtown LA ... or you can invest in my company and convince us to work on your projects. See my profile for more info.
