This is somewhat brief and cover a select set of what I've experienced and what my preferences are; I expect the interested parties to know me from the FreeBSD mailing lists. Feel free to ask for more information of any kind (including references, of course.) Due to circumstances at my present job (which I cannot discuss in public beyond saying that it does not involve dissatisfaction with me) I am looking for alternative employment. I'm a 25 year old programmer, having programmed since early 1983. I've worked for: 1993 - 1996 Funcom Programming tools for games and games while we grew from 7 to 130 employees, becoming the largest independent games developer in the world. 1996 - 1997 DiMaga This was a games development company I started along with 11 of my previous coworkers. I left after a merger I strongly disagreed with (and had voted against). I worked on infrastructure (implementing the higher levels of our 3D engine, doing part of the optimization of our core 3D display system, part of the design for the game logic system, and functioning as a sysadmin for our FreeBSD and Windows machines.) 1997 - present Yes Interactive Various net-related development (Yes has not had any easily described business model), including ISDN driver development, creating a Lispish language for web content display, developing various web sites (built on standard and specially developed database solutions), and developing a cluster system for web hosting farms. I've also done some of the system administration (including acting as the CVS meister.) I don't really consider particular languages relevant in a skillset - if a programmer know the underlying paradigms, (s)he should be able to pick up a new language inside very few days. I've done commercial programming in a variety of languages (assembler, C, C++, Java, and Perl, to mention the most prominent ones) and actively use the OOP and programming-by-contract paradigms when programming, somewhat independent of langauge (though languages with support for them of course make it easier, and make the paradigms more pervasive.) I know, but do not usually use, the functional (ML/Haskell/Lisp) and constraints-based (Prolog) paradigms. I work most efficiently in an environment with clear short-term expectations and interaction with project leaders; in an environment where expectations are long-term I get distracted and work it in by unpaid overtime, which lead to wear-down and lowered overall efficiency. In a close interaction loop I am highly efficient as an implementor. My preferred work situation is one where I am part of both the design and implementation team for a solution, but do not do the design alone. I am weak in the area of writing reports. Without further training, I would not feel comfortable in a position where this is a significant part of the work expected. I consider myself more of a follower than a leader, but tend to take the leadership role if nobody else step up to it (especially in meetings, but also somewhat overall.) I'd prefer not to have a position with mixed leadership and intense implementation duties, as this tend to lead to priority conflicts which I do not feel comfortable with. I'd prefer FreeBSD-related work, but I am not averse to proprietary or other open source work. I hope to avoid Windows as my primary work environment, but can tolerate it if other sides of the position are really good. My main is increase of skillbase; I want to be the best programmer/designer I can be. I am pragmatic with regards to solutions; I'd rather have a solution that works in a business context than a "perfect" solution that does not (usually due to cost/time constraints.) I'm a norwegian citizen, but relocatable (without paperwork inside Europe, with paperwork outside), and able to work immediately in an english or scandinavian language environment. I have also known german well enough to do so, but have not used that actively for the last 8 years. Eivind.

The data center environment is primarily FreeBSD, with some commercial UNIX (Solaris, HP) a possibility in the future. This person must be well versed and capable in operations in a 24/7 networked UNIX operating environment, and will work closely with our Senior Network Engineer in implementing and maintaining our back-end UNIX servers. In addition, this person will be responsible for the day-to-day trouble shooting of office PC’s and the office networking environment. Estimated responsibility breakdown would 70% back-end administration, 15% office network administration, 15% office PC trouble shooting. TargetNet.com Inc has the goal of becoming a leader in rich-media advertising. TargetNet's Adpulse created internet history in August 1999 when it ran the first successful transactional advertising campaign where consumers were able to purchase books entirely within an advertising banner without ever having to the host website. TargetNet also owns FocusIN, an established leader in managing advertising services for small to medium-sized websites around the world. TargetNet currently serves over 0.5 billion ads every month, so our engineers understand reliability and the architectures that make it possible. TargetNet ads are served from redundant servers hosted on separate Internet backbones to avoid any single point of failure. Should any of the servers fail, the load is immediately redistributed between the remaining servers. But failure is unlikely, because the servers are themselves redundant, with hot-swappable modules to enable them to be maintained and updated without taking them offline. In addition, their modular design ensures that the system can be scaled easily - its capacity can be increased simply by adding more servers. This means that the system will never be overloaded, and will continue to grow to meet advertisers' needs. The hosters are all tier-one ISPs (AT&T, UUNET and Above-Net) to maximize the performance of the servers. Each site has 24x7 Internet access, uninterruptable power supplies and back-up diesel generators. Each center has multiple redundant high-speed Internet links that are constantly monitored and kept within 66% of their capacity to ensure lightning-fast response times. TargetNet is built on the FreeBSD operating system, one of the most stable available, and one trusted by industry giants such as Yahoo! and Hotmail.com. The servers use the industry-standard Apache web server software together with proprietary technology for maximum performance. AdPulse's experience from its sister company has enabled it to build an extraordinarily robust system that can meet and keep pace with your needs. Please send resumes to juy@targetnet.com.
