Coder looking for work - great references!

[Nick Stock]

Hello my name is Nick and I have just completed an 18month project writing a Loss prevention application running standard in all Apple Retail locations.

            I have recently decided to go back to school, and as such, I need work that leaves me some degree of flexibility in regards to my schedule. I want to either find a full time position that allows me a lot of flexibility, or enough contract work to keep me fed and healthy.

I would love the opportunity to work with new platforms and technologies so as to expand my experience. Iphone and Java development are high on my “to learn list”

 

My resume is below. Feel free to call or email me.

 

Thanks!

 

Nick
