I've taken a look around and was unable to locate a single topic where programmers who have the necessary skills to complete Bitcoin-related projects might showcase their talents.

Can you design a wallet? Are you capable of creating your own crypto currency? Can you build a BTC to USD exchange if only someone would fund your efforts?

Feel free to introduce yourselves, what programming languages you know, any bitcoin apps/programs you've built, etc. Somewhere out there an investor is saying "If we only had someone who could do A-B-C" and likewise there's a programmer wishing he had the money to launch his very same A-B-C thing that's already done.

Don't by shy. Flaunt your skills.
