I would *love* to work on a professional project in TCL/TK.

I've written quite a bit of TCL/TK stuff, but I am largely self-tought. I started programing TCL/TK in 2003.

My completed TCL/TK projects: Mechwarrior4 Merc Modeler (a info utility for a commercial game) TESFILES (a tool for doing game modification of Morrowind, a commercial game) TESRESPEC (a different tool also for the above) MWSwitcher (a small utility to aid game modification of Morrowind) Gladiator Board Game (an internet multiplayer and solo play board game) Piechart Disk (a utility to show disk usage in an interactive pie chart form)

I was a professional software engineer. My carreer lastest approximately fifteen years. I did real-time embedded pacemaker support-computer software, UNIX tools, PC tools, various forms of documentation, and pill-packaging machine robotics real-time embedded software. My work was regulated by the FDA and required a high degree of documentation, reliability, testing, and quality. Professionally I wrote software primarily in the languages of various assembly, C, C++, EMACS Lisp, UNIX script, and HTML.

My professional carreer ended in 1999 with the onset of mental illness. However, my condition is treatable by medication, and I am fully functional and I believe I am up to standards. However I cannot readily rejoin the professional community in the bio-medical field due to my diagnosis of mental illness.

I'm 43 years old. I have a BSEET from DeVry Institute (1985).

I tried to get into the professional gaming industry as a contracting "game modder" (3D modeling with a copy of 3D Studio Max I bought, and game editing) but this has largely failed, as the game I primarily modify for has refused to provide a new 3D model importer or exporter plug-in of any kind (making my copy of 3DSMAX useless, and making me unable to add any new models such as creatures, items, or terrain to the game). Perhaps TCL/TK work will prove to be a different story, at least all the tools are readily available, or at least can be purchased.

My nickname is MentalElf.
