  Good taste for software design


This just landed in my in box:
I am looking for a talented .NET developer/architect to drive a
challenging and ambitious project.

Strong hands-on .NET, good taste for software design, agile mindset,
and exposure to Test Driven Development are the must.

The project is long term, therefore permanent is preferred, yet
contract is negotiable for a right candidate.

Please spread the word; if someone is interested, contact Dmitri at
Opalis.com for details.

"Good taste for software design." I love how our industry is shaping up: proud development leaders like Dmitri are not afraid to seek the "quality without a name."
