I just exited a dead-end Ph.D. program in math, looking to get back into industry. The vast majority of my tech experience comes from my hobbying and tinkering around with programming and *nix systems since middle school, so my strengths and comfort lean heavily towards DevOps, despite having no employment experience there. I can see myself thriving in a group that manages high-performance, high-availability, and/or high-security systems.
My natural talents are with understanding existing systems. I seek out to deeply grok things. Perhaps because of this, I've been told that my ramp-up speed on new skills is quite fast. I'm also quite good at finding root causes of bugs.
On the development side, I'd really love to work in Haskell. My experience is limited, but in that I've found my background in abstract algebra to be quite useful. I'd jump on the chance to work with a team that is willing to mentor and support self-study.
I look forward to hearing from you!
