I'm a developer and writer. I am currently writing a newsletter for those thinking about or in process of changing careers to software developers.

I love all things javascript and occassionally dabble with other languages, Go, Rust, Elixir and only watch videos about C++.

Right now I am loving typescript/jsdoc, incrementally using functional programming libraries (ramda and lodash), and expanding my cloud knowledge.

My aim in life is to care for and love others and to use code, writing, time, etc to that end.

Before becoming a software developer I worked in non-profit. I made a living off of fundraising and was able to work with people in all stages of life. The last year and a half of non-profit work was spent working with Senior Adults. My non-profit days are the catalyst for much of my thinking and how I hope to impact the world through software.
