OBJECTIVE
Recently I have settled in the UK and at the moment I am looking for a full time role which will allow me to exercise many of the technical skills I have accumulated over the years. I have a keen interest in:
UNIX systems and network administration
GUI development, wxPython and JavaSwing
Remote administration tools for UNIX-like operating systems
Networked applications
SUMMARY
I am a skilled software engineer specialising in OpenSource. I am a fast learner capable of adapting to a constantly changing world of internet and related technologies.
PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
Following is a list of programming languages that I'm familiar with. I have listed them in order, from most familiar to least. I have removed those which I never plan to use again (Pascal, Assembly, PHP etc).
Java - 4 years of mostly Swing development. Also I am familiar with Java web development patterns and could probably adapt to such environment in short time.
Python - 4 years, mostly on open source projects. GUI development with wxPython, web application development with Zope and Mantissa, Twisted networked apllications, system scripting.
SQL
C/C++
Visual Basic
During the last year I have been using Python on a couple of open source projects and I would love to get involved in something simmilar for a day job.
