I'm a generalist developer; I like developing with or for anything that's intellectually challenging. I'm not a cowboy coder: I feel that development is about solving problems, and code is how you happen to express the solution. The fact that it has to run on a computer is completely besides the point.

I like to learn new things, and when left to my devices I usually master them pretty quickly. To illustrate: when diving into C# for the first time, at my previous job, I went straight from "what are indexed properties?" to "hey, look, expression trees!"; from a relative newcomer to C#/.NET I went to the local language expert in around a year. When playing around with Python I went for metaclasses straight away (they're fun!).

I like to work on the module-surpassing problems in a large application. I like to solve the large issues keeping back development; I like to think about making development easier for my colleagues. I like progress, I like changing things for the better. I'm looking for a senior-level job where I can do so.
