Back-end developer looking for work: Perl or similar, Glasgow or UK remote. I write well-crafted and -commented code, not too clever, with an emphasis on getting names right, testing and maintainability. I like talking to other people in the team and wider business. https://illuminated.co.uk/cv.pdf #getfedihired
