The correct answer to this question will result in me finding a client
(employeer). It will NOT qualify as a correct answer until I am
actually employeed. Leads are appreciated, but leads are NOT the
answer. I have used up my search capability (personal contacts,
newspapers, online job sites, and professional staffing agencies).
As you may know, many companies have laid-off and are no longer hiring
software engineers because of the weak economy. The San Diego area
has been especially hard hit. Because of this situation, independent
contractors (1099), like myself, have had a very difficult time
staying employeed.
Being located in North San Diego County (Encinitas) CA, I am
interesting in finding a company in this general location (from
Sorento Valley to Oceanside and Escondido). A work-st-home or
telecommute is also okay if only a small amount of travel is required.
Thank you in advance for all the help!

BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
I have fifteen years experience in a variety of systems and software
tasks (specializing in real-time embedded systems). This experience
is primarily focused in the systems engineering, software design, and
the integration of real-time embedded systems. In addition, as a
software lead, I have developed leadership skills and have conducted
customer presentations. I was granted a Bachelor of Science degree in
computer science from Purdue University in 1988.
I have worked on several different kinds of systems, including combat
aircraft, sonar systems, various communication systems, and consumer
electronics (digital cameras and FotoShow).
