Navarr Barnier, I'm looking for web development work - primarily using PHP, but given time and opportunity I can pick up other tools. I'm a sophomore at Bowling Green State University where I've taken many Computer Science classes that have given me information but not challenge. I currently live in Bowling Green, OH with a permanent residence in Spring, TX. I'm willing to work anywhere provided ample assistance, and am willing to telecommute.

Hi, I'm Eetu. I'm planning on graduating this summer and for that, I need to do a master's thesis. I'm looking for a company stable and curious enough to let me be focused on your given task for six months; while still being cool enough to hang around with for the next few years after my thesis gets done.

http://eeko.iki.fi/~eeko/resume_en.pdf has my current CV and the rest of my web-profiles (incl. Github) are shown at http://about.me/eeko/

I'm currently stationed in Southern-France and I'm much willing to relocate.

Sorry, but what does that even mean?

I get things done. In three years running the IT department for a trading firm: configured Cisco 6509s and 7600s, deployed dozens of servers, built a new intranet site, replaced an ancient Cisco IP telephony setup with Asterisk, improved risk monitoring tools, wrote performance monitoring tools, did budget forecasting, trained a new team, implemented black- and greybox algorithms, rewrote security policy, and managed staff at our Mumbai branch.

Degree in CS/Math. Canadian and Venezuelan passports, Greek passport soon (ah, bureaucracy!).

I'm available from Feb 1. Non-USA strongly preferred, especially Hong Kong, Melbourne, London, or Buenos Aires. pikeas@gmail.com

I'm talking about the recruiters and corporate people who are looking for someone who charges, e.g., "no more than $100 an hour." What does that mean if the problem is never solved correctly? That at least they got a bargain?

To me, an important problem is one where the lack of a solution is the big cost.

Just graduated with a business mathematics & informatics degree. Know C/C++/Java/Ruby/Python/Scala. Mostly looking for something challenging, like an entry level datamining position. Looking for something in the Netherlands, near Amsterdam or Alkmaar would be nice. I already have a few interviews coming up, so I don't expect to be unemployed long.

Guess it can't hurt to try: Steve, finishing my PhD this semester, will be looking for employment. C programmer with an array of both professional and academic experience from low-level coding (microcontrollers, DSP, Linux kernel, real-time, audio), all the way up the stack to GUI, HTML5, Android development. Comfortable learning new programming languages. Recent work mostly consists of using Scientific Python for signal processing and machine learning (robotics applications). Also authoring a library for decentralized UDP communications with application in gesture-controlled audio systems. Big interest in doing more functional programming. Currently living in Montreal (Canadian), but more than willing to relocate to a major city in US or Europe. Please get in touch!
