Subject: Willing to take a pay cut to work with ruby

Hi there,

Would you consider taking on an experienced software developer as a
junior ruby developer?

I have 15 years good software development experience and I have good
software disciplines, instincts and principles, but my main language
experience is java.  Will, I just cannot do java any more.  If I see
another User.java with getName() and getId() and getAddress() etc I
will go mad.  I am hungry to get stuck into something different, to
learn a new way.

All of my recent roles have been 'senior' this or 'senior' that, but I
am willing to be 'junior' whatever if it means I can do ruby work with
good people and learn something and get the excitement back into my
work. I'm willing to take a pay cut.  I'm willing to work anywhere.
I'm willing to work on any problem domain.

So if you have an opening for good ruby work with good ruby people and
you're open to an 'experienced ruby newbie' please email me at
me ::at:: mikehogan dot net and we can have a chat.

I've stuck my CV up here to add a bit more background - http://

Thanks very much
Mike
