Mistachkin Systems (Joe Mistachkin)

This is the web page of Joe Mistachkin.

I am currently seeking new opportunities as a full-time Software Engineer.

I have over 30 years of experience as a professional software engineer and a proven track record of getting complicated, difficult things done.

I meet or exceed the typical requirements for the Principal Software Engineer level.

I will make your project successful throughout its entire lifecycle.

I am willing to talk with anyone about possible opportunities as long as they are serious, reasonable, courteous, and timely.

I firmly believe in and adhere to the ACM Software Engineering Code of Ethics.

Here is a partial list of my interests and/or expertise: automation, cryptography, databases, developer tools & SDKs, distributed systems, (Internet) security, public key infrastructure, runtimes, sandboxing, scripting languages, testing, and virtual machines.

Here is a short list of keywords for the search engines: Tcl/Tk, Eagle, SQLite, System.Data.SQLite, Fossil SCM, Comdb2

About Me

I have a strong preference for information reuse; therefore, instead of duplicating "profile" content here, please refer to my page on the official Tcl/Tk wiki.

I support open source and have been deeply involved in various communitities for most of my career.

I have written some very advanced systems.

Here are a couple of my current "side projects":

Contacting Me via Telephone

Please contact me via telephone if any of the following conditions are true:

The matter is urgent.
The matter requires a synchronous response.
I already know you and you want to talk.
You prefer not to use email.
You do not have access to email.
You do not get a prompt response via email.
The security of email is inadequate.
Your email gets bounced back to you for any reason.

I can be reached at the contact number associated with this domain.

Unfortunately, the WHOIS database now appears to be somewhat unhelpful for obtaining domain contact information.

Therefore, as an alternative reverse Turing test, please visit the Eagle Live Language Demonstration and follow the directions contained in snippet #11.

Secure Communications

Please use Session for voice calls (or text messages) that require security. My current Session identifier is:

05ef39d2f8c4bcbd0472a1aea6e94177245711ed23ff492e27b9ee5a2b809c8f31

For another layer of security, please consider using my OpenPGP public key (shown below) to encrypt all message payloads before sending them with Session.

I can still be reached via Signal as well; however, I now have a strong preference for Session.

Please use my OpenPGP public key for messages that require layered security.

The fingerprint of the public key should match the following:

The SHA-1 hash of the downloaded public key file should match the following:

Contacting Me via Email

I can be reached via email by concatenating the following strings, in order:

My first name.
The @ symbol.
My last name.
The string .com.

There are no other public email addresses for me.
