I specialize both in Systems Implementation (Hardware and Software) as well as Application Development. I've been doing Systems for around 25 years and Development a few years more. While I'm primarily Windows based, I also work with Linux and UNIX variants. Back in the day, I was a killer VMS admin and dabbled in many other systems. Of course, if you really want to get my engines fired up, let me help you build a high speed messaging system using MSMQ (Microsoft Message Queues) or MQ Series.
And while I've written over a million lines of FORTRAN, I primarily use .Net (C#, VB.Net) today, but still love Delphi (and I continue to coexist with C++). From an RDBMS point of view, Transact SQL and SQL Server 2014 is my current database of choice, but I've done most of the modern RDBMS (Oracle, Sybase, MySQL, DB2, etc), and a few too many not so modern database systems.
You see, prior to moving to the private sector to do Financial Services, I was an Experimental Particle Physicist. Experimental physicists tend to have to do everything themselves because they are designing and building systems that no one else has ever built before.
