Linux Software Developer (Contract) at IMAX Corporation
Toronto, Canada Area
I'm a young, talented and energetic software developer with my career going on full steam ahead.
Currently working at IMAX Corporation, Mississauga. I'm involved in developing software on Linux that makes the magical experience possible. I really enjoy open source software as in GNU and Linux. Still, Java (now GPL) is my favorite programming language, followed closely by Python. I can consider myself an evangelist of Open Source software in the Enterprise Environment.
In software development I believe in Design and Design, did I mention Design? Yes only with proper Design a good software is possible. Great programmers, following crappy design – create crappy software. Secondly, I believe in proper tools for a job – no single tool fits all needs.
At this point of time I'm interested in:
- Developing software for the GNU/Linux platform
- Programming more cross-platform applications using C++/Python/Java
- Using the best user interface toolkit Qt by Nokia anywhere I can
- Perfecting my knowledge of Linux kernel and Linux driver development (an non-stop task as kernel moves ahead waiting for no-one)
- Enjoying POSIX Advanced Realtime API, one of the smartest and most consistent APIs
- Using Python framework Django to create multi-functional web interfaces for my software.
My Linux distribution of choice is Ubuntu and Debian, jumping down to Slackware and LFS depending on my needs.
