Couple of concerns here, although I went ahead and applied just in case. First, I tend to keep my programming "persona" separate from my "regular" persona. That avoids issues with places I've worked or may be working. Second is that my GitHub is rather sparse because most of my clients don't want their code shared. I don't think that's unique to the mobile space (Android/Java and HTML 5 primarily) as when I used to do PL/SQL work I don't recall seeing a lot of code out there other than Oracle samples.

So just curious how you are planning to make this marriage work?

Hi Eric, your github account has a link to your website where (only if you've made it public) I will take the initiative to contact you. I don't intend on excluding people just because their github account doesn't have 20 projects on it. Moreso, it's just a selector for the target demographic. Also, feel free to be creative and put your linked in url or email in if you think that's more representative of your background. Last, but not least, I'm happy to hear more about your talents if you send me an email (michael.karpeles@gmail.com). Sabalaba and I will be going through each submission, one at a time.

As suggested before, we're keeping our first batch of acceptances small so we can better understand the challenges which you face and help you overcome them.

cheers!

Hi there,

I'm in a similar position to Ewan, so this comment comes as a relief to me. I have a portfolio site that's also limited to only projects clients have approved to be made public. Whereas my LinkedIn has more information on what I've done.

I've sent an application with my LinkedIn.
