Note: This was posted last month [1], and received a lot of up votes and some positive feedback [2]. So re-posting again for June 2014. Also note that I will not be submitting my resume this time due to making a successful connection [3] with an awesome startup as the result of last month's run.If you're looking to be hired by a company, please use this thread to let other HN members know.

I've been programming since I was 14, and started doing it professionally at 20. I'm currently the "jack of all trades" programmer-and-more in a small IT department for a ~2000 employee company. I've enjoyed incredible flexibility to learn and implement different technologies in my current role, but unfortunately, I have to begin looking elsewhere as we're quickly losing our autonomy to our enterprisey parent company.
The approximate responsibility split at my current job is 60% pure software development, 20% devops, and 20% networking. I absolutely adore C#, but since it isn't as vogue as I wish it was, I should mention that I'm almost as fluent in several other languages. I'm proud of having a well-diversified set of skills, and if my "keyword soup" resume piques your interest, I'd love to have a more in-depth conversation with you.
I'm tied to the area for family at the moment, but I'd be happy to spend a bit on a coworking space and work remotely.
