Why Hire Dave Gott?
If you want your software to be :
- high performance
- easy to maintain, monitor and debug
- designed and built in good or very good time
- and to possibly save a fortune (see 2004 to 2005 - Nokia in Detailed Work History).
Availability - Expected mid to late 2023
I plan to work on chatGPT (using Python and linux) with a goal of creating interesting, useful and marketable software. A collaboration might be ideal - especially with a group / organisation with software marketing expertise.
