[sf-lug] Introducing Myself

[David Hinkle]

Hello Everyone,

I'm David Hinkle.  I'm a long time Linux user and professional software developer.  I host the Quad-City LUG every other month at the company who's product I created and currently manage (http://cipafilter.com).  We put together usually 20-30 members for meetings and have about 120 people on the mailing list.  I've also been involved in several open source projects and even released my own (http://bandwidthd.sf.net).

I'm interested in moving to the San Francisco area and I wonder if anybody knows of some companies looking to hire an extremely experienced and sophisticated Linux developer.  I have over 12 years experience working with Linux software and am considered a guru here in the local community.   I specialize in network enabled and communication applications.   I have an understanding of Internet protocols down to the wire level and years of experience manipulating protocols such as HTTP.  My primary languages are C, PHP, bash, and Adobe Flex.  

Most of the C work I have done has been in the form of a multithreaded proxy server that manipulates the HTTP protocol in real time.   PHP, bash and Flex I've primarily used to write web front ends for embedded devices.

Please let me know,

David
