hi folks. i've recently moved to melbourne, australia, and
pretty soon now i'll be looking for consulting work.
i've been working at critical path for the last 3+ years. i
was lead developer on the cpth webmail product for the first
year, after which i joined the core architecture team whose
scope included the entire messaging platform and web
application suite. for the last several months i've been an
architect and developer for cpth's suite of integrated
collaboration apps.
i've been writing sophisticated mod_perl applications for >3
years. i'm familiar with internet messaging-related
protocols such as http, imap, smtp, ldap, icap and webdav. i
have moderate experience with database design and
programming, altho i don't claim to be an expert in
maintaining or tuning database server installations. i've
built your typical two-tier web/db sites as well as large
business applications. i've slung guns at small shops and
written heavy documents in large process-oriented
engineering dept. most importantly, i think, i've got
several years of experience shipping many releases of a
single product, from an initial release through two
re-architectures, a complete user interface redesign,
internationalization and localization to 20 languages.
i'm currently porting the java servlet api and tomcat
servlet engine to perl. if anybody wants to pay me for that,
i'd love to hear your proposal :)
otherwise, i'm interested in discussing consulting
arrangements for any type of perl-based project. if you're
in melbourne, or if you want to work out travel, on site
work is fine. telecommuting is the standard, however.
