This is the personal website of the Josh Rosenbaum that lives in Columbia Falls, MT. (Sorry if you were looking for another!) It does not provide very much useful information, but exists to find me on the internet. It also provides some basic info about me and some things I've done.

Work:

As of May 2010 I have left my previous job. I look forward to exploring new opportunities after some time off!

Previously, I worked at Bozeman based InfoGears for about 6.5 years. I worked on all kinds of cool stuff and mainly coded in Perl and worked with various Open Source software such as Postgres (SQL) and Template Toolkit (Perl template system). We created the back-end code for ecommerce sites as well as billing solutions for those that needed them. (Such as ISPs.)

About my CS skills:

• Computer knowledge over 22+ years. (Since approximately 1990.)
• I'm proficient with Perl, Javascript, Java, and C/C++. Langauges I've used in the past include: Quick Basic (My first language!), BASIC, TI-85/92 BASIC, Assembly, ADA. (There are others like PHP, but I didn't do anything huge with them.) Once you learn a couple of languages, it's pretty easy to switch around when necessary.
• Template Toolkit
