CV: 6. Gaming, Telecommunications, Military, Non-Finance C++ Developer

Subject: Gaming, Telecommunications, Military, Non-Finance C++ Developer

The role caught my immediate attention and the brief description sounds very attractive. For my development, in 90% cases I use Java now however in previous roles c++ and/or c# were languages of choice so I have experience with those. I also have experience with finance from a non-software development point of view - I actively trade the stock market and understand effective trading strategies.

Please review my CV (attached) and match it against the role's requirements.

Software Engineer - London

In my current role I have developed a very slick GIS framework that allows me to process and mine geolocated data and then visualise it using Google Maps and / or google Earth. Currently I am using this framework to analyse performance (Rx & Tx) of satellite broadband terminals but this data can be substituted with any scalar data which is (or can be easily)  geolocated. Examples could be average rent for a 2 bed property (data harvested from gumtree & property agents) or contours of intensity of job openings vs UK postcode.

Having not sound a perfect opening to apply, I've selected the jobs in the cart which roughly correspond to my interests.

I mostly work with google technologies and especially with GWT, Appengine, KMl, Maps/Earth and fusion tables, Storage for developers and recently WebGL.
