Hello, technology headhunter! I am contacted by several recruiters a week, and sometimes multiple each day.


Please note that I am an expert systems programmer and architect. I am not interested in system administration, Java business logic, mobile development, anything involving user interfaces, or web programming, and should not be contacted regarding such. I am interested in major algorithmic challenges, demanding performance requirements, and exotic computer architectures. I deliver world-class work, and require world-class compensation (my [https://github.com/dankamongmen GitHub] and [https://www.ohloh.net/accounts/nickblack Ohloh] profiles speak for themselves). If you are recruiting for a suitable position, please do contact me.
