Perl geek for hire
I'm leaving my current job on August 1st 2007 and will be looking for work. I'm available for:
- very short-term (1-6 weeks) contract work of any kind, anywhere in the world
- short term (2-6 months) contract work either in Melbourne, or telecommute
- permanent work anywhere in the world.
I'm interested in:
- work that lets me contribute to CPAN
- work involving wikis, blogs, social networks, or other "web2.0" sorts of applications
- writing, teaching, presenting
- community management and software evangelism
- jobs involving travel
- jobs in unusual/creative/weird industries or fields
- jobs that let me work with and learn from smarter, more talented people than me
I'm NOT particularly interested in:
- long-term work which doesn't involve at least one of the above listed items
- any long-term position where "software developer" is my only role
- any job which doesn't offer me the opportunity to learn new technologies
Current passions
- Ease of installation for Perl apps
- Crowd Control, my user management framework for web apps
