So you have the opportunity to hire me. There are plenty of good reasons to do so—I have a Master's of Fine Arts in writing, a completion certificate from a one of Canada's best coding bootcamps, and I've been working with a PERN stack app that I made from scratch for the past 18 months. I am good at design and even better at making art that involves my dog.
That's her there. We call her Bitsy.
But I'm pretty hard to explain. Made in America, California to be exact, I spent some time teaching English in Japan where I ran into a Canadian who lured me away to the frozen north. I live and work in Canada legally (don't worry!), but I've brought a world's worth of experience with me.
But here are some highlights, since you came all this way:
I was the Web-Editor for Stanford's Neuroscience Department. I got the job because I knew enough about brain science to talk to the doctors and enough about programming to put their work into words for the web.
I studied neuroscience concepts to become a better educator—to know what was going on in someone's head before they said it. I bring that knowledge to programming, talking, and every design decision I make.
I threw a frisbee tournament in Japan. When I'm not injured, I'm pretty obsessed with the sport. I had an article published in Sky'd Magazine about it. (This trivia included as proof of strangeness, not necessarily hireability.)

This site has a few different effects, but no two things I have ever made have looked alike. I see every new project as an opportunity to learn new tools, try new color palettes, and affect others in new ways.
Being a lifelong educator means that I have also been a lifelong learner—I learn from anyone and everyone who has something to teach me. If you need a teammate who will absorb like a sponge, iterate, and improve upon advice offered, I am your man.
I speak three languages with varying levels of fluency, and have written code in half a dozen programming languages. I live to parse, interpret, and redeploy knowledge for those around me. I thrive in a team where everyone is an expert in a different field.
I see things from different perspectives and approach problems from oblique angles that others often have not considered. I am an amalgamator—one who puts the disparate pieces together for full effect—and I love what I do.
While I am happy to work on nearly any problem-solving task, I really do love making interactive elements for a popular audience more than I like the details of the deep back end. I like to help people understand why they're at a site—and how to use it better through intuitive design. You came here to check me out—and the fact that you've made it this far means I didn't do a bad job on that front. If you think I'm a good fit for your company, please check me out on LinkedIn, or respond to the posting I applied for. Chances are you're here because I invited you, so let's just keep going with your protocols.
