Looking for a Job

I've been isolated here in Charlotte for too long. I miss being around people and being a part of a team. I miss geeking-out about tech stuff: bits and bytes, functional programming vs OOP, concurrency models, etc. I want to be around hardcore developers again.

So I'm looking for a permanent position as an engineer in a software development organization.

What am I looking for in a employer? More than anything I want to work with great people. Smart, hardworking, fun people. I'm not really concerned with the size of the company, but I don't function well in bureaucracy and hierarchy, so that eliminates most large companies.

My preference is to relocate to the Silicon Valley area, but I'm willing to consider elsewhere for the right opportunity.

(Also, I hear great things about SAS. If you have an inside contacts on jobs there, let me know.)

My resume is here: DamienResume.pdf

Have you tried this?

Hey Damien... If I remember correctly, the app you sold to me was "Liaison Pro". I ended up using chunks of the source as the basis of a CRM module in a Domino ASP startup. I think it went into production twice and I charged the startup $500 each time. The startup didn't survive so I have no idea if the apps are still in use somewhere but I do know they still exist in my \notes\data\dev folder.

All the best for the new job/location scouting.

You might find us interesting: www.sharpcast.com. Our sync software has a lot of similarities to your CouchDb.

Thanks Berislav. I'll take a look.

Good to hear from you Peter! Maybe those two companies each sold it to two more companies, who each sold it to two more.... Or not.

Adam, I'm looking at Sharpcast now. Thanks!

Looking for a job...well I have to admit I'm a little sad. Seems to be a trend these days (all these great ex-Iris/Lotus devs having to go back to corporate). Anyway, best of luck in the future.
