Leaving the Federal Contracting world
6/12/2016 | By Laz A. Mataz

I've had a pretty good relationship with the CDC here in Atlanta. With one group, I stayed for six years, did very well by them, and supported two major web applications.

Things change, though, and when my division decided on a technology that I had no interest in -- Dynamics -- I moved on to another promising group.

That group was.... um... well, how can I say it. It was underwhelming in terms of procedure and culture. Developers are treated as commodities, and our knowledge and opinions are not barely noticed, much less respected.

Further, the technology I was hired for was not what they really needed. They like doing everything in out-of-the-box Sharepoint, and I am a C#.NET/VB.NET guru.

So, I'm up on June 27. Let me know if you hear of anything for a stellar MVC 5 (Razor) / Entity Framework / C#/VB.NET JQuery / SQL computer developer guy who is well spoken, writes well, has great 'soft skills' with people, skilled with web security (taught by the feds!) and can bench press 3 pounds.

I'm staying in Atlanta though. Thought I'd put this on Free Republic because they say to network, and this is the best place in the world to do that. :)

Can you handle a post hole digger? I need help finishing up the fence across the back yard.

Sorry for your plight. Hope you’re a lot younger than me(64).

If a post hole digger can handle IIS8 with a seperate application pool, no anonymous access, identity impersonation with a specified server account for the Entity Framework access, and has Angular JS MVVM implementation, then yes.

Similar cert to GIAC, here.
For our this thread’s readers, more on what superfries mentioned about GIAC certifcation:

“In April 2005, the SANS organization changed the format of the certification by breaking it into two separate levels. The “silver” level certification is achieved upon completion of a multiple choice exam. The “gold” level certification can be obtained by completing research paper and has the silver level as a prerequisite.

As of June 18, 2012, GIAC claims to have granted 42,663 certifications worldwide.”

I lost you at the MVVM, didn’t I.

MVC is more popular.

Pretty good. Hubby just got his ccw. Strong hunting/gun culture out here. Actually I saw the weirdest thing when I took my kids to get ice cream last week — the 2nd Ammendment in silver foil caligraphic letters across the back bumper of....a Prius!!

You could telecommute from a smaller planet.
And on Mars you could bench press 8 pounds of mass.

Don’t invite him to NW Arkansas, what with the University girls out numbering the boys and all those well toned country gals running around he’d hit himself to death.

To use a quaint almost out-of-date phrase, you got ‘mad skillz’ Laz!

Good luck with the search for your next project.

Sigh. Too bad. Looking for a C#.NET/VB.NET guru who can press ten pounds.

F = ma

Has anyone ever noticed Einstein's e = mc squared is a specific expression of Newton's F = ma?
