Canberra Australia, considering relocation for the right position but would be happy with remote work as long as it doesn't involve me staying in Canberra, full-time (i'm not against contracts/part-time, but they would almost certainly be in conflict with my current employment with the Australian Government, but if your job is interesting enough I'd still be curious to hear from you).
Stack: SAS (data step, macro, proc sql), Common Lisp, some experience with others (see resume).

I'm an expert in data linking (authoring my own system), statistics/analysis/data-science, programming, research, and economics. I've written programs to produce specific house price, household income, national accounts, labor force stats and analysis for official Australian and OECD publications. I'm skilled in algorithmic flexibility, improvement, design and efficiency, and amongst other things my programs are used to select parameters used by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in its current data linking projects, where I am currently employed.
I'm looking for interesting and challenging work above your basic entry level positions. I have reached the top of the technical hierarchy where I work and I can't advance any more without taking up managerial positions that involve higher pay but are less challenging. Since this is hacker news, I can be honest and tell you I am NOT interested in these positions. I will consider working for less if I consider your problems hard, interesting, and stimulating enough :P
I'm comfortable presenting to large groups, teaching, and I can accept roles that require some supervision, but I'm looking for flexibility and a mature/reasonable employer that wants me working for them because I can solve challenging technical/analytical/research problems that other people can't.
I am gainfully employed with a professional working wife, so I won't move without considering our combined situation and employment prospects, but we're both interested in moving if its to a location that offers more opportunities or stimulation than Canberra.
If there's anywhere with employers looking for people like me, willing to offer jobs that I might be interested in, I believe its probably on hacker news.
