I'm looking to switch jobs because I don't like what I do. I'm stuck with old technologies and there is no hope for that to change. People here just don't care because that's what they always did and they don't want to learn anything new. To them, software development is just a job like any other. To me it's a whole lot more than that: it's a passion. Probably like a lot of people here, actually.

I want to work remotely. I currently live in QC, Canada and I don't want to relocate, mostly because I have a fairly established life here with my wife and our two children. I know that will limit the possibilities, but it is the only strict requirement. I understand the risk of hiring someone who does not have a lot of experience (I have 2 years), but I only need one chance to show what I’m worth.

I am a very fast learner and I can pick up new languages/tools/frameworks in a very short amount of time. I want to work for a company that values knowledge and understanding of general concepts (OOP, Design Patterns, etc) rather than specific technologies. I know my way around C#, PHP, Javascript and more recently I did some Ruby, which I like a lot. I don’t mind what technology you work with. What matters to me is that you master it and use it well.

I want to be part of something important. I want to make a difference. I feel like I have not unleashed my full potential yet, and this is hurting me emotionally. I can do more. I know I am better than what I do at my current job. I want to work with motivated and smart people. But first and foremost, I want to love my job and have fun doing it!

Would you hire me?
