Richard J. A. Meyer, M.S., OCP

I am currently happily employed full time. If you wish to contact me regarding an employment opportunity, I will decline any full time position. However, I will consider small part-time consulting jobs. The ability to work remotely is a plus.

I am passionate about programming, and am continuously learning new languages. I am very goal oriented, and when I set my mind to solve a problem, I usually succeed. I handle constructive criticism well, since I aim to do things correctly. I am a resourceful person, and if I do not know how to do something then I will learn how to do it. Career-wise, I am looking for an environment where I can actively expand my current skills as I move into the realm of high-level application development.
