Resume

I'm a developer with a background in network and system administration.

I work primarily in Ruby with Rails in the insurance sector, with a focus on back-end development and the occasional "devops" work (DB maintenance, performance tweaking, monitoring, etc.). I keep JavaScript minimal — Hotwire/Stimulus when I need it. You probably can't see much of my work since they are private repos, but check out my Social profiles if you want to take a look.

Past language explorations include Elixir, Haskell, Elm, and Scala.

If you want to see more detail, check out my Social profiles.

• Functional Programming (or mostly)
  • - I've done procedural and OOP; FP concepts genuinely appeal to me
  • - You can FP in almost any language — I enjoy applying those ideas even in Ruby
  • - Elixir remains a favorite; I find myself drawn to languages that make you think differently
• "Back-endy"
  • - I like messing with browsers, CSS, and hacky JavaScript less and less as the years go by
  • - I enjoy more things farther away from the front-end, I think.
  • - Related to the above, working in some other non-web app arena would be fresh and fun, I suspect
  • - This could be "dev-opsy", or "developer-toolsy", but the details will matter, I guess.
• People
  • - People that are open to new ideas and thoughts.
  • - It is important to be listened to and to feel that way. No matter if we agree or not.
  • - People that actually want to help each other
  • - I'd like to feel like I'm on a team and not just taking up space in the same building.
• Remote
  • - Remote-first is the preference; open to hybrid if the team and role are the right fit
