Hi! Iโm Paul Cochrane, an experienced multi-purpose software developer. ๐
Most recently, Iโve been involved in data processing, devops and backend system development using Python and Django, however, Iโm also experienced in technologies and languages such as Perl, Linux, bash, vim, LaTeX, and git (among others!), and I'm not shy when it comes to learning new systems and technologies. In fact, since I'm a generalist, you can throw any problem at me and I'll work out how to solve it in whatever language or tools as necessary.
I have a PhD in Physics and have worked on software projects in many different areas, including Physics, Combustion Technology, Scientific Visualisation, Geospatial Data Delivery, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Game Development.
Iโm based in Germany ๐ฉ๐ช but am originally from New Zealand ๐ณ๐ฟ; Iโm fluent in both English and German.
Iโm available for freelance contractor work. ๐ซ Contact me via email at [email protected] and letโs discuss how I can help you solve your businessโ hairiest problems. ๐ฅ
