Location: Ottawa, Ontario

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Currently knowledgeable about Python (including Flask, pyside, and pandas stuff) and emacs lisp. Willing to learn anything though.

CV: Have two things I can offer, first as a programmer and second as an accountant (I am a CPA with years of public accounting experience).

1) I currently no formal coding experience. I'm a CPA who has always had an interest in programming and tech who is sortof exploring a career change. I don't have any formal education in CS, but I have been working on a side project with some friends of mine that may or may not go anywhere. I have experience using version control with other people, have contributed (minor) changes to open source projects. I have been using debian on desktop for probably about ten years, as well as maintaining a server. Very comfortable in a command line. I also use emacs as my editor of choice, have fooled around with making some major modes and stuff. This is to say, I'm looking for an entry-level job but without the formal education.

2) My actual work experience is four years of work experience in auditing companies. Very knowledgeable about anything financial, would be a good fit for a controller like position, internal audit, etc. Also willing to consult if you have financial reporting or maybe (Canadian) tax questions. Also maybe interested in other finance related jobs if you're looking for a CPA who is interested in tech as well. If interested, please let me know and I'll link you to my Linkedin profile.
