Technologies: Python, Cython, C/C++ most recently. Previously Actionscript 2 (very similar to Javascript), .NET (ASP.NET and Windows Forms), various SQLs, and a bit of Photoshop. Small amounts of work in other languages, including Java and Ruby. Familiar with working to coding standards, review, svn/hg/git, and would be much happier in life on a project with unit tests.
Résumé/CV: on Request. Short version: Physics BA/Msci, .NET shop for 2.5 years, Physics PhD.
My PhD finishes on 31st December this year, and I'm currently attending interviews in and around Cambridge. I have worked on Windows Mac and Linux, get most excited when I'm learning some new technology, and am looking for something with real-world impact after a dry 4 years in academia. Have written for Linux Format magazine, too, including a Gentoo installation tutorial.
During my PhD I invented a new computation geometry algorithm - debugging my work involved writing PyOpenGL code in order to see things in 3D, as well as learning a load of graph theory. I'd love to find something to do with these topics as a job, although I won't do anything related to weapons (ruling out a fair few physics/geometry coding roles, it seems.)
I also get really excited about languages and making code run faster; I enjoyed being allowed to care about that stuff during my PhD.
Remote: sure.
Willing to relocate: No.
