Lead/senior software developer. Committed to producing quality software, very productive, excellent team player. Not so good at producing crappy software to absurd deadlines.My underwater mortgage has me pretty much stuck in the Orange County + Long Beach (California) area. I'll entertain opportunities in the Southeast — basically the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida. I'll also entertain opportunities outside the US.Recently been working in: Java web services (mostly SOAP, a bit of REST), J2EE, EJB, with DB2 and Oracle databases.Looking to get into: Scala, Ada 2005/2012, or other strongly-typed languages. Ada, really? Yes — Ada 2012 isn't your grandfather's Ada. Definitely will consider Scala plus legacy Java or Ada plus legacy C/C++.Not looking for: front-end development. The user interfaces I've designed and built have been, um, unimpressive at best. It's not something I enjoy doing and it's not something I'm good at. Some light maintenance of existing UI is okay as long as it's not a big part of the workload.
