I'm the proverbial 'jack of all trades' with development technologies. As a developer, I'm best in full stack web development using Django/Angular/MySQL, but have dabbled with almost everything, including Rails, Golang, Elixir, etc. I'm perfectly happy to run sprints and stand-ups, offer mentorship to junior devs, perform code reviews and ensure code quality, and am very comfortable taking on the burden of ensuring efficient delivery of product.
I've worked in almost every position, and in almost every aspect of modern application development, from web-only to mobile-only to hybrid-mobile applications, and I'm very comfortable in doing whatever is needed, whenever it's needed.
I'm mainly looking for a full time opportunity that's looking for a self-starter with an eye towards future proofing software design choices, but I very much enjoy front or backend development as well. I would certainly entertain shorter term projects as well.
- itamarst 9y agoA suggestion: Your resume has some really great bits: making your company $2 mil, saving another $3 mil. You should highlight those first, technologies second. In the end you're being hired in order to save money or make money, not to write code.
- bmelton 9y agoThanks for that. I think they're currently listed in sort of chronological / as-I-thought-of-it order. I can definitely see the value in having the bigger, bottom-line accomplishments first (or maybe last?) in the bullets.
- itamarst 9y agoI don't mean just in your resume, either. I also mean when you're pitching yourself, as in top comment you have here. You lead with "jack of all trades" and technologies, rather than with the business value you can create.
