Hi Mike, are these positions remote friendly? I looked at your career page and the Software-Engineer Product posting looked very interesting.


Location: Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Unix, C/C++, VTK, Qt, Meteor, Rails, Git, Vim, Emacs, OpenCV

Education: BSc in Software Engineering, currently MSc in Biomedical Engineering

Résumé/CV: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/dadair

Email: adair [dot] david [at] gmail [dot] com

Github: https://github.com/adairdavid/

I am currently a Masters student at the University of Calgary, in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. I am looking for remote work in an environment that appreciates well designed and written code. My work to date has been in the Medical Imaging industry. My most significant contribution is neurosurgical planning software that is used by the Clinical Neuroscience team at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary, for planning electrode placements in deep brain structures.

I am very interested in exploring functional programming, and thus have been playing with Clojure and Clojurescript.

I am always interested in improving my skills and learning new ones, and I am looking for a work environment that shares my interest of continuous improvement and exploration.


I don't understand patents like this...

Could a store owner in a mall patent the way that users walk into the store, buy a t-shirt, and leave?

Anyone able to explain to me how the linked patent was deserved? I'm genuinely curious.


While not baked into the framework itself, I've found a few repositories that aim to make CRUD a bit easier: https://github.com/aldeed/meteor-autoform/ https://github.com/aldeed/meteor-simple-schema/


I've been using Meteor for sideprojects to learn Javascript. While I like the ecosystem and meteor itself, I have found it hard (as someone new to Javascript itself) to learn "best practices" while using Meteor. I've tried several times to use different testing frameworks, but I end up getting frustrated with not knowing what I need to mock, how I should package things, etc.


meteor as a lot of "specifics" that what I don't like about it.


Very small thing, but there is a space missing after the period in the tagline:

"..string of events.Timeline weaves those.."

Otherwise looks awesome!


Great eye, and thanks for the feedback! We'll fix pronto.
