Breaking News: You can hire our company (for reasonable projects, that is) from now . If you are interested, don't hesitate. We did some fairly decent jobs in the past years, such as implementing Nero's DVD Video Subsystem (as well as their Video Recording counterparts in both the "plus" and "minus" world) along with the apparently now obsolete HD-DVD-VR part. What should I add?

I'm a professional software developer (originally graduated as an engineer in tech. physics - for the English world, that's probably a Master's degree in Engineering) and familiar with C/C++ on DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows 9x, Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista, OS/2, HP-UX, Linux, OSF/1, SCOUnix, Solaris, Ultrix, VAX/VMS.
 
Technologies: Networking (mainly TCP/IP), RPC, Win32, (D)COM, multi/cross-platform development (mostly Win32/UN*X) (anyone noticed I did not mention MFC? I use it when I have to, but I consider GUIs to be a necessary evil ;-)
