It looks like I'll be attending the MVP summit this September, and I'll be looking to do a small time gig (speaking, training, consulting, development) during the week after that, in the hope of making it profitable enough for me to justify my going to the PDC (a week and a half beforethe MVP summit). So, if you by any chance know of a place where my skills will be appreciated (and paid for) during that week, **either in L.A or near Bellevue (near the MS Campus)** drop me a line. I'd also be happy to share a "finder's fee" if that's your usual method of work. **Possible work** might include: - Speaking: Agile development, unit testing best practices, regular expressions, deep .NET, architecture - Training: 1-3 days agile workshops: Test Driven development in .NET, Java, C++ or VB, 1 – 2 day .NET 2.0 training, vs 2005 training - Consulting on all of the above topics - Development in .NET (either on laptop or at client site) - Writing: articles, white papers,specs, design docs.. - Speaking at user groups (for free is a possibility if I'm able to find an income for the rest of the time) If any of these sounds interesting to you or someone you might know, you know what to do :) **Possible dates**:    all week of Sep. 19th, or Monday sep. 26th. For more information about me and my company, feel free to drop by the [Team Agile website](http://www.teamagile.com/), or [download my CV](http://www.teamagile.com/Downloads/RoyOsheroveCV.zip). ## More in Off Topic [All posts in Off Topic](https://osherove.com/blog/category/off-topic) - Jul 20, 2005 ### [\[OT\] If you can't stand the heat, take your ThinkPad out of the oven](https://osherove.com/blog/2005/7/20/ot-if-you-cant-stand-the-heat-take-your-thinkpad-out-of-the.html) - Jul 16, 2005 ### [\[OT\] What's inside the food we eat?](https://osherove.com/blog/2005/7/16/ot-whats-inside-the-food-we-eat.html) - Jul 15, 2005 ### [My contests actually make a difference :)](https://osherove.com/blog/2005/7/15/my-contests-actually-make-a-difference.html) - Jul 14, 2005 ### [Important:Need someone to help me with DotNetNuke](https://osherove.com/blog/2005/7/14/importantneed-someone-to-help-me-with-dotnetnuke.html) --- ## About the author **Roy Osherove**: Senior Solutions Architect at AWS working on AI for production and AI-driven development; author of The Art of Unit Testing and Elastic Leadership, with about 20 years of consulting and training on unit testing, TDD, team leadership and continuous delivery. ### Sites - [RobotPaper](https://robotpaper.ai/): This blog: AI patterns and anti-patterns, AI and coding agents, and engineering leadership. - [osherove.com](https://osherove.com): Roy's personal site.
