My most recent work experience has been "hiring myself" during the majority of 2023 to both design and develop my own original programming language named Vikari. The language now has a partially implemented, heavily tested interpreter on GitHub.One purpose of my developing Vikari was to concretely prove that I can still accomplish software dev work in a challenging problem domain after a multi-year hiatus from the software industry. In 2019 I encountered a medical problem that prevented my capacity to work. However, as of 2023 I have recovered enough that was able to work an average of 3-5 hours a day on Vikari for a total of 700 hours spent developing the project.Because of this ongoing medical problem, I can no longer accomplish full-time software development work. I learned from experience during this past year that after 3-5 hours of work on any given day, my mind reaches its limit. Pushing beyond this limit induces symptoms such as severe mental fatigue and a headache. However, during those 3-5 hours of dev work I can work just as hard and effectively as any other software dev.Before 2019, I worked for two and a half years for Marin Software developing and maintaining a Java microservice for extracting OLAP data from Presto and transforming it into a JSON response for consumption by the frontend UI app. This was my first and only professional role in software development since graduating from my degree program in 2016.Beyond this, I have had much interest in procedural generation and game development in my past. However, I now have no interest in game development. My personal interests have swayed towards other problem domains such as programming language design and implementation.Professionally I am most interested in finding work outside of my current areas of expertise. While I am still open to finding work in using Java, my most familiar language, I'm far more interested and excited in finding a job working with a language and tech stack I don't currently know. I have a skill of learning new things quickly in software development. So I feel confident in my capacity to succeed in a new role given new technologies I don't currently know.
