<h1>Recruit me</h1>
<div id="description" class="widget">
<p class="blurb">
I'm a software engineer and community builder with a penchant for journalism.
I'm an aspiring polymath: My thirst for knowledge knows few topical boundaries.
I once upon a time aspired to teach high school computer science.
I've been involved in non-profits since 2000 and have been running events yearly for 20+ years.
I would eventually like to find myself self-employed or working for
someone with similar goals and talents, doing whatever I love and
loving whatever I am doing.
Some goals may include
to become a CTO or Distinguished Engineer of a company that I did not start,
to be a primary contributor from inception to a product that pays salaries for hundreds of people,
never to compromise my integrity and ethics to ship a product or service knowingly,
to create a team so cohesive and talented that anyone could leave at any time, but no one wants to,
to create a world in which money is not an obstacle to learning.
</p>
<p class="blurb">
Check out my <a href="projects.html">portfolio</a>.
</p>
<p class="blurb">
Are you considering <strong>recruiting me</strong> for your next
endeavor? If so, please read the rest of this section.
<ul class="projects">
<li>
Please note that I am <strong>not actively pursuing opportunities</strong>
for full-time employment, but I view <em>every</em> opportunity that
makes its way into my inbox. Please don't be offended if I don't
respond.
</li>
<li>
I would really only consider an opportunity that is in the
<a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Pittsburgh"
>greater Pittsburgh area</a> or <strong>allows remote work</strong>.
I live east of the city, so offices west of the confluence might as well be
hours away for the purposes of commuting!
I can work any U.S. time zone, having generally worked Pacific time daylight hours
for most of my career.
</li>
<li>
Please do not bother to contact me with employment offers
that <em>require</em> relocation, unless you absolutely must
have me, and
only I am suitable for the position you wish to fill, and
compensation is <em
title="San Francisco? Six figures, the most significant of which is greater than two and the second most significant is greater than 2, plus equity."
>seriously</em> no object!
</li>
<li>
DO NOT CONNECT with me on any personal social media,
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/colindean"
title="Colin Dean on Facebook"
>Facebook</a> or <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/colindean"
title="Colin Dean on LinkedIn"
>LinkedIn</a> if you and I have not
met in person.
Feel free to follow me on
<a href="https://www.github.com/colindean" title="Colin Dean on GitHub"
>GitHub</a>,
<a href="https://www.gitlab.com/colindean" title="Colin Dean on GitLab"
>GitLab</a>,
or
<a href="https://www.mastodon.social/@colindean" title="Colin Dean on Mastodon/Fediverse"
>Mastodon/Fediverse</a>,
though..
</li>
<li>
If you're a recruiter, you must include the name of your client in your message.
I have worked with recruiters previously and will not intentionally cause
you to lose your commission should your attempts be successful.
This revelation <em>in your initial outreach</em> is a non-negotiable expectation.
</li>
<li>
If you can find it, under no circumstances should you
email my work addresses with anything unrelated to work.
Thanks for respecting my inbox and workflow!
I might make fun of you on social media if you break this rule more than once.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<h2>On Interviewing Colin</h2>
<p class="blurb">
If steps in your interview process not involving human interaction, please find alternatives.
For example, if a code test takes more than two hours, please devise an abbreviated test before contacting me.
Then, use that test on me and everyone else you interview after me
because no code test should ever take more than two non-contiguous hours.
</p>
<p class="blurb">
If contrived evaluations like whiteboarding, digital or in-person,
would be a part of the interview,
please skip these parts of the interview for me.
These evaluations do not accurately reflect the skills of the candidates
whom I have evaluated over the years.
Even I, a confident public speaker and teacher, can choke in
that exercise.
I have long since eliminated whiteboarding from my interview processes
because of its ineffectiveness and would not wish that method
upon anyone, interviewee or interviewer.
</p>
<p class="blurb">
Because of my involvements and obligations
in community leadership activities, businesses, and family,
I don't have the bandwidth to study for a technical examination
even if such is directly related to the role for which you are pursuing me.
I am happy to interview in a process
that is well-defined but more accommodating of
the life of an engaged professional with obligations outside
of the workplace, such as children, a time-consuming hobby, or long-term volunteering.
