[0:00]Hi there, my name is Sam. This video is
[0:03]meant to introduce myself to select few
[0:06]people who might be interested in the
[0:08]kind of services I have to offer. Uh,
[0:11]let me start by apologizing for the road
[0:13]noise. I'm right next to the 101 right
[0:14]on the Oregon coast. Can't really do
[0:17]anything about about the road noise. It
[0:19]comes and goes, at least for now.
[0:22]So, about myself, I'm 48 years old. I
[0:25]live in an RV, the one behind me here.
[0:27]lived this way for two years. Like I
[0:29]said, I'm right on the Oregon coast. I
[0:32]volunteer for the United States Forest
[0:33]Service.
[0:35]Um, right now I'm a camp host, but soon
[0:37]I'll become a caretaker. It's a
[0:38]different kind of volunteer where you
[0:41]support the other volunteers, uh, who
[0:43]manage different campgrounds. You just
[0:44]kind of support them with the the
[0:46]supplies they need and you take care of
[0:47]the day use areas.
[0:50]Looking forward to that. I start that in
[0:51]a couple of weeks from now. Probably do
[0:53]it for the next year. Uh, they're
[0:55]usually yearly assignments.
[0:58]um in the Oregon Dunes. So, I'm on the
[1:00]Central Coast. It's very nice up here. I
[1:02]absolutely love it. This is the
[1:04]highlight of my life. Truly is.
[1:07]And um well, I'm looking for work. I'm a
[1:11]programmer. I've been programming since
[1:12]the sixth grade. So, all of my life
[1:14]since MS DOSs. Uh my first language was
[1:17]GW Basic and then Pascal, then C, then
[1:20]C++ and a little bit of C, some Java,
[1:24]some PHP. Well, PHP most of my life.
[1:26]I've been doing that since PHP 3.
[1:28]Consider myself mostly a backend
[1:30]programmer.
[1:31]I can definitely create some frontends
[1:33]that are nice and professional. You can
[1:35]look at my homepage to see that. But I
[1:37]like to work on the back end. I'm not
[1:40]looking for work that's going to consume
[1:41]my life. I've done that. And it's not
[1:45]it's not something that feels aligned
[1:47]with my life anymore. I'm looking for a
[1:49]client who needs help, who needs
[1:51]somebody who is very intelligent, who
[1:54]has a systems thinking brain, who sees
[1:58]patterns, who's very good at building
[2:00]systems,
[2:01]um sees a lot of things that other
[2:04]people don't,
[2:06]detail oriented in that way.
[2:09]um
[2:11]working with data, um networking, you
[2:14]know, uh building servers, just all
[2:17]kinds of different things, including the
[2:19]programming. Um artificial intelligence,
[2:21]I've been doing that for a couple of
[2:22]years.
[2:24]There's a lot that I'm capable of. I
[2:27]tend to think that I'm capable of
[2:28]anything if I just put my mind to it.
[2:30]And if the project feels aligned, then
[2:32]my mind will definitely be be tuned to
[2:34]it. So, I'm just going to leave it at
[2:38]that. Just take a look at my my website
[2:40]to learn more about me. Look at my
[2:41]profile on Upwork because that's where
[2:43]this video is going. And if you're
[2:45]interested, get back. Thanks.
