Hi. I'm Walter Rader. In 1996, there were no slang dictionaries on the web that took user contributions. So I created one. I called it The Online Slang Dictionary. It still going after nearly 30 years!
I'm a Software Engineer with more than 15 years of experience across all stages of the software development life-cycle. I've worked in a variety of industries; at companies huge (100k+ employees,) small (30 - 60,) and tiny (my own); and have shipped code in 10 languages.
As of July 2026, I am open to new opportunities in the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento metropolitan areas.
My resume is available on LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/waltergr
