Isaac Foraker
I am currently available for contract work in the Boulder area, or via telecommute. If you are interested in my help with your product or service, contact me for rates and information at isaac AT noscience DOT net. You can also view my LinkedIn profile for a more extensive background.
I am a Software Engineer and wannabe novelist. I have worked on all types of software systems in a broad range of categories, and started programming as a hobby when I was 12 years old.
I have worked in the storage industry. I have worked on a microchip design tool for a large semiconductor company. I have written code in support of train control center systems, including SCADA and tunnel control. There is a good chance that the train you ride or tunnel you pass through is managed with some of my code. I have coded for management of a globally distributed hierarchical streaming network. I have programmed online databases for a game company. I have worked on contracts for the Air Force and NASA. I helped to write a student record system for a medium size university.
Even though I may be considered a full fledged computer geek, I still found time for friends, amateur astronomy, D&D, video games, singing in my school’s chorus, acting in skits and plays, playing a bit of football, helping out the local cat rescue, and plenty more.
In my spare time, I enjoyed writing open source software (until I went to work for a company that does not approve of this self-improving activity) because it gives me a chance to experiment with code, where I cannot experiment at work, it helps me keep my skills tuned, and I find it rewarding when other people find my projects useful for their own needs. I don’t always have the time to address every issue that comes up, but I consider release versions of my open source projects a representation of some of my best work.
