Ontario, Canada. Remote or Local (no relocation). Full Time | Contract | Part Time Stack: C/C++, Python, Lisp (Common Lisp, Scheme, Clojure, Hy), OpenStack Resume: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11810776/cv.pdf https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11810776/cv.pdf Contact: In my CV, profile 10+ years of experience across a wide range of technologies. My passions are distributed systems, graphics, artificial intelligence, and compilers. I've worked on large and small web projects, object storage, devops, and contribute to open source projects such as Firefox, WebGL, Openstack, Hy, and others. I am completely self-taught. I'm currently catching up on chemistry in my spare time. I'm enthusiastic about following the work of T.J. Hutton on artificial chemistries, artificial life, etc and even more recently, agronomy. I just built a raised garden box in my backyard and am setting up some sensors (based on the arduino board) to detect and report water levels. My goal is to find (or develop if I must) cheap (ish) sensors to detect more complex compounds such as phosphorous, nitrogen, carbon, potassium, etc. I hope to turn crop rotations into a constraint search/machine learning problem. Along the way I may end up optimizing the component cost of my raised boxes to make dense, affordable urban farming accessible to busy urban dwelling people (automate all the things!). If you have a challenging problem or unique application that requires someone who is methodical and passionate about their craft then I might be the person you're looking for. I'm interested in projects related to science, game development/graphics, distributed systems, or computing environments (I believe the power of programming should be available to anyone who needs it in environments and languages they're accustomed to). I prefer to work on Open Source software where possible. If you need a technical co-founder for a really interesting project (something that could help us avoid the post-antibiotic future, adapt to climate change, are interested in exploring programming-system-as-operating-system, or bring back people traumatized by mathematics) you should send me an email and get in touch.
