Prefer Object-oriented Analysis and/or C/C++ programming for its advanced capabilities, but would consider improving my Java or building J2EE skills (as well as any efforts which will eventually take me in the direction of information systems development and models of cognitive processing). I want to work with compiler languages so I don't find interpreted languages as attractive as a rule. Specialties: Have used practically every conceivable programming language, development platform, machine, and operating system. My experience spans the gamut of the software development lifecycle as well as many other functional areas (e.g. retail, journalism, defense, law, entertainment, pure and applied science, mathematics, foreign language and translation, graphic arts, operational support and hardware architectures).
