I am a capable software developer with approximately 30 years of experience. As I am progressing with my learning of Ada, I am looking to retain an experienced Ada developer for non-coding consulting.

The consulting will involve pairing sessions on an hourly basis to help me learn some of the “lesser known/understood corners” of Ada and GNAT. The sessions will mostly be directed by me, so no curriculum is needed.

I’ll give you a sample of issues I ran into recently (with no resolution so far): elaboration/global variable positioning between a static and an encapsulated library, and unexpected behaviour of iterators for private types.

Please contact me directly on this site if you’re interested! Feel free to include your hourly rate.
