Languages: C, Java, PHP, Bash scripting (does that count?)
Apps: Mostly loaders, and some front-ends for DBs. Also some scripts to check servers and ensure things are behaving as they should.
Specialty: Bit of everything... I can usually make just about anything work one way or another. Sometimes with excessively complex and dodgy code.
Site: A certain University...
Latest project is a collection of apps that puts the user in the admin group on their mac for one hour, then removes the access. It's for staff to obtain temporary administrator access to install software/devices - without giving it to them permanently, thus destroying our SOE. It's a little complicated, but will save a bundle of time for everyone.

Team lead for a dev team of about 10 guys.
We work mostly in Ada but we also use a little C and C++.
My background is defence work but the company I work for now provides systems for Air Traffic Management. Our team is responsible for detection tracking etc...

<cone_of_silence>
I've been working on a very large software system in the surface naval sector for the last 12.5 years. It's written in C & Ada. Low-level hardware interfacing & display stuff is written in C. The database stuff is written in Ada. It's a distributed system and runs in 8 - 16MB of RAM from images on flash memory. We treat every byte of memory available with tender loving care.
It connects to lots of sensors and stuff. We use Solaris servers for hosting the development environment.
We also look after some software in Linux & SGI environments. We have a few utilities for data management that run on XP.
I'm mainly doing Systems Architecture work related to system mods. I have a few software engineers helping with this work.

What languages do you use ?
Work: Apart from web and database stuff, sadly I'm stuck in the visual basic world until i get some actual proper training in some other languages or frameworks.
Home: I have also been known in the past to be a HyperTalk fanatic and some might even say guru.
What kind of apps do you build ?
Work: Various, mostly in-house tools to automate existing user processes.
Home: Usually great solutions but to problems only I have thought exist.
What is your speciality (if you have one) ?
Work: Creating robust algorithms to solve seemingly insurmountable problems or design stumbling blocks, and coming up with innovative, lateral solutions that are too beautiful and efficient to be dubbed "workarounds". This can sometimes end up with an immense amount of code to solve what to the user is a seemingly straightforward thing, but will work in any situation variant and is highly flexible, and rock solid despite its behind-the-scenes complexity.
Home: HyperTalk.
Where do you work ?
A professional services firm in the city (Melbourne). My role is in the actual profession, the IT side of my role is only an added bonus for them.
Brad there are people out there who might try to argue that web-based front-end interfacing is the way of the future for proper "applications" (especially if trying to be supposedly platform-independent for whatever reason), and therefore web dev is a legitimate part of application development.

Hey all,
My name is Aaron, i'm a web developer by day, OSX developer by night.
I code in XHTML, CSS, Javascript and Actionscript at work, and Objective-C at home.
I code a range of teeny tiny little utilities that make life 5% better
During the day I work for The Sound Alliance, their the guys who own inthemix.com.au, fasterlouder.com.au and SameSame.com,au. There I babysit the design queens and code monkeys and work on all the new cool stuffs the sites have to offer :P
Oh, my speciality... hmmm, I've been told I have a crazy way of thinking up tools and utilities that nobody ever knew they needed, that now, they can't live without :P (kinda like those crazy inventors that come up with a *soup strainer* that totally changes 5 peoples lives and gets bundled in telle-shopping deals)
My Apps : http://bleepblop.isnot.tv & http://desklickr.isnot.tv
HI!
