Ricardo Signes’s Summary

I've been programming professionally since college ejected me into the world with only a degree in humanities and a pile of debt. Solving new problems and obsessively polishing solutions to old problems are both a lot of fun for me, and I enjoy having a job where I can do both.

Ricardo Signes’s Specialties:

software testing, email handling, Perl (including Perl on Win32), API design

Ricardo Signes’s Experience

• Owner and Coder

  (code (simply))

  (Partnership; 1-10 employees; Computer Software industry)

  September 2005 — Present (3 years 2 months)

• Research & Development

  IC Group (Pobox.com, Listbox.com)

  (Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Computer Software industry)

  May 2005 — Present (3 years 6 months)

  I write code, mostly Perl and some Python. I worked to make our old code more modern and maintainable, to add new features, to improve performance, and to integrate it with third-party systems.

• Contributor and Maintainer

  CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network)

  (Public Company; 5001-10,000 employees; Computer Software industry)

  I wrote software to solve various problems, abstract and concrete, and release that software as Free Software to the CPAN. Software I maintain or authored can be seen here: http://search.cpan.org/~RJBS

• Group IT Analyst / Developer

  IQE, Inc

  (Public Company; 51-200 employees; IQEPF; Semiconductors industry)

  October 2000 — May 2005 (4 years 8 months)

  I work with users to define problems and find solutions. I design software to implement the solution, if needed, and build it. Most of the problems I work with are related to storing information specific to the semiconductor industry, but a lot of it boils down to standard data storage and retrieval programming.
