I'm a full-stack software engineer with 12 years of experience, including Endeca, Vine (Twitter), and as the tech lead for Search at Shutterstock Images. I'm available for full or part-time work. I also have a bachelor of Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Waterloo.
I can build a web application from front to back, providing guidance to plan a simple, iterative implementation that meets your needs. I can also lead a team of engineers.
I also have DevOps experience at TunnelBear and Vine (Twitter). Most of my experience has been building scalable web applications, making build systems and doing configuration management, and React web apps.
I'm a full stack software engineer with 9 years professional coding experience.
I specialize in search and DevOps, with experience writing front-end web applications. I can help build your web application's frontend and backend, set up continuous integration and deployment, build search and indexing systems, plan and deploy backend infrastructure with configuration management, and more.
I've had an "ssh buddy" for years, but for a variety of things such as asking for a "download on how to hotwire a motorcycle".
I have an agreement with many friends to be an operator so they can look something up on the web, or anything else requiring some efficient technical prowess.
We just call up each other and say "operator", and if you're near a computer, you help out with whatever it is.
Some Americans care about "buy[ing] American", but most don't. A prime example is the Japanese auto manufacturers taking market share away from American companies with better quality cars since the 80s, eventually becoming dominant.
Not to mention that the US isn't the only market for smartphones out there, so a large portion of the market certainly don't care if something is manufactured in the US.
Making quality software is probably the biggest opportunity for RIM right now, not the location of manufacture.
I've never donated to anything like this, but Sony's actions are fundamentally corrupt and if unchallenged, will set a terrible precedent for all of us, and severely hurt this individual.
The Google Talk client is horrible. It wastes tons of CPU when it's loading up the contact list, and still uses a bunch just while idling. If you have it on all the time, it will eat your battery away such that a Blackberry 9700 with no other apps running won't last a full day. I tested this on my own device a while ago, it might have gotten better, but I doubt it.
Blackberry Messenger (BBM) also has a typing indicator, delivered and read indicators, and it's faster than anything else out there.
Also, the fact that it's only on mobile devices and not desktop computers means that you know your message will get delivered to someone's pocket instead of the computer they may have left on. An odd side effect of its lack of portability.
