       I'm looking for a job in software development — pls boost! 🙏About me: I'm a US-based software developer with about a decade of experience in the industry (mid-90s to mid-aughts), but for the last 15 years I've been in academia (PhD in theoretical linguistics from MIT in 2011, tenured Associate Prof at the U of Maryland since 2017). This past spring, I decided to leave academia, and move back into the tech sphere. Though my academic field was linguistics, it was of the rather abstract, armchair variety – and so I'm not necessarily looking for anything language-related in the tech world. (Though that would be fine too, of course!)I'm versed in Python, Go, Java, Rust, C, and C++, and have basic familiarity with several other programming languages. I know my way around the sysadmin side of things (you know: writing this now from a glitch-soc flavored Mastodon server that I run off a linux vm, that sort of thing). I even know a good bit about processor design, from working at Intel for a bit back in the day.I'm good at adapting to new challenges and I ramp up on new knowledge very quickly, but because of my non-orthodox résumé (see: last 15 years in academia), it's not easy to find posted job ads for which I'm the ideal on-paper candidate. That's why I thought that posting this here, in addition to sending out résumés, might be helpful.A little bit more about me here: https://preminger.xyz/bio/Thanks for reading!#getfedihired #jobsearch #fedihired #hachyjobs #jobs
