The US government shutdown has made my job a little less certain.

I work as a civilian contractor for the US Department of Defense. I'm employed by a company called Oteemo and they have the DOD contract that I'm on.

My contract was supposed to be until next May, but apparently, they can decide to just cancel the contract in the middle, and that's what they decided to do, because I'm a programmer and not a soldier.

I'm not out of a job. I'm still employed by Oteemo, and they'll put me on deck until they renew the contract. So I'm not currently in any financial trouble or anything.

But, if this drags on, Oteemo could decide they don't want me for a different contract and let me go. So, I'm looking for something new. I want to get ahead of this and not be out of work right now.

I'm a full-stack or back-end web developer with over twenty years of professional experience. I've mostly worked in go and PHP, but I'm also good in Python, and can learn anything else. I've also done some basic DevOps.

I've worked as a Team Lead and Senior Architect. In the last few years, my work has focused on microservices.

I'm looking for something based in the US, but remote. I'd be open to in office on the Southwest side of Houston, TX (Sugar Land would be better).

I might consider relocation to another country, but it would have to be a warm climate and a safe place for kids with access to an international school.

I have a résumé and a LinkedIn, and will update them both soon.

Please feel free to DM me, email, IM on Jabber, or just call/text if you have any leads. And I'd appreciate it if you'd boost this for visibility.
