Curriculum Vitae - Résumé
$Id: CompleteCV.izu,v 1.4 2005/09/18 06:18:17 ralf Exp $

If you've ever been in a position to hire someone in the software industry, you probably had to go through a bunch of resumes, some being so long they look like little novels, haven't you? So as a joke, I decided to do an exhaustive description of all the work I have ever done before. I'm generally not too good at embellishing my work (you know like going from I wrote the open/save dialog to I wrote the full application and designed the shrink-wrap package) and quite frankly here I don't even need to try.

Yes the format is a joke yet the content here is serious. I really did all that stuff and I'm proud of it.

There's a more traditional short résumé out there, only available on request.

As always this uses reverse-date ordering.

Objectives

If I had to summarize what I consider is the most important in a job position, I'd say that's team work. I like feeling part of an environment that I can trust where in return I feel like I can really add something.

I like being part of a team. As such, I expect some people to have more knowledge than I do, so I can learn from them. I also expect some to learn from my work, and I'd be more than happy to help them in their quest for knowledge. Being part of a team is a full experience; it implies being able to collaborate positively with others, learn their abilities, their limits and their idiosyncrasies. It means reciprocal respect for one another's work. It is both sharing and giving -- unilateral relationships do not work in the long time.

This is the kind of environment I have in mind.
One where I will feel free to rant and criticize, positively, the work or others,
one where I will feel free to criticize negatively my own work,
one where my work will be appreciated,
one where I can feel free to point out impossible tasks that are assigned to me,
one where I can feel free to take on such tasks anyway after some negotiation on the specs,
one where I can let my creativity run free and innovate as I see fit.

1989 - 1991 (2 years)

1988

Internships

1994

Summer 1993 (one month)

Comment: Yeah, that's exactly it. I did install Solaris 2.2 all by myself (and actually like to think I understood most of what I was doing, and that was way before Google could deliver the answer to any technical question). Then I proceeded testing if their own software would run under it, which of course it did, and then I enjoyed writing a neat little documentation.

1992 - 1993

Objectives:

Long description:

Comment: that was my first assignment where I was part of a team working on a real project with a useful purpose; I enjoyed working with lot of qualified people with diverse technological background; I also enjoyed having an outsider's view to all the little politics and department's internal struggles.

1989 - 1991 (2 years)

Comment: early in the training period I was told the project was rather doomed. Welcome to the corporate world :-)

Personal Projects, Hobbies and Misc.

One of my main hobbies is programming. Or more exactly trying interesting programming ideas. Some projects live a long life. Most simply die by natural selection.
