ABOUT ME
Polyglot developer with an obsession for modularity
Polyglot developer with an obsession for modularity
I'm a self taught developer, and ever since my first job, given enough time at a workplace I've always become the guy who people go to when they're stuck, and I've enjoyed doing the same on various online communities.
I've always found those interactions very rewarding, I find it much easier to apply myself in a focused way to helping other people solve their problems. I really believe in the "teach a man to fish" cliche.
If you are a student or need help working on open source, I offer a 50% rate reduction. Note that I will not solve exercises/assignments for you, I am only willing to help you to solve them yourself.
Finally, I suggest you check out this great write up by Adam Goldman, another mentor on this site, which has some great tips on how better utilize this service https://www.codementor.io/adamgold/get-the-most-out-of-your-session-5c5iho6ns

Go is my new favourite language, for it's unrelenting simplicity. I have found in Go much of what I've loved about Perl, but find it much easier to avoid making undesirable tradeoffs as projects accumulate more components.

I still consider myself an expert on Perl, even though it has been a few years since I've been active in the community. At one time I was a fairly prolific CPAN author and opinionated blogger: http://blog.woobling.org/ and heavily involved in the Moose and Catalyst projects.

I've got experience in C mainly from fighting with Perl internals. It's hard to avoid encountering C given enough time. I have a solid grasp of the programming model and semantics, but must admit I'm lacking in skill/knowledge on the ancillary details, such as best practices for project configuration.

There's a crack in everything, and pointing those out is a lifetime pursuit. I think I have a knack for making things break, and I believe the hacker/security mindset leads to much clearer thinking even for software that isn't security sensitive. Having a clear understanding of agency, of trust, and of intended vs. possible uses is vital to writing good code. I also think the fastest way to gain technical understanding of anything is to go straight for the facts, and nowhere in software is the distinction between ground truth and beliefs clearer than in the context of infosec.

I think I have a wealth of experience with different paradigms and approaches, having tackled various data structure in languages ranging from C to Haskell, always seeking to better inform myself of the right way to model an idea in code. I'm a nerd when it comes to data structures, as I believe storing and retrieval of information is what all programming eventually boils down to, everything else is just implementation details.

I am comfortable with git on all levels, from daily usage to abusing it as a data structure.
