In addition to being a sculptor I am a software engineer with a broad background.
I've done most everything from largish systems development to internal tools for
various companies. More specifically I've hit the following major areas:
development (Usually in C or Perl)
configuration management
configuration management tools
release engineering
installation
WWW work (Hand written HTML & forms, CGI scripts)
first line management
system architecture
3rd party integration in complex systems
I find I enjoy life most when my customers are down the hall, rather
than at the other end of some mysterious "sales pipe".
Alternatively, it's good if my customers are obvious -- doing things that
I do on a regular basis. Those preferences have lead me to working
in the above areas (some for obvious reasons... others less so) where
my customers are (usually) close at hand.
Some sample code -- if you're one of
those people that wants to know I can do this before hiring me
On a tangentially related note: here is the
syllabus for a Perl class
I taught many years ago. There are some minor holes in it -
it's based on Perl 5 and skipped over all the OO stuff,
which I hate - but it may be a reasonable reference document
for some of you.
