hi there! welcome to my piece of the internet. you might be here for professional software stuff, Yoga & Thai bodywork, or just my personal links. you can see all of that below 💜

Software

I'm currently looking for work! I was unfortunately laid off in January into a mid labor market. while I'm thoroughly enjoying unemployment with a healthy savings, I know I gotta find a job at some point! my next employer will gain an attentive, skilled, and dedicated worker

Résumé

I have two versions of my resume, depending on how you want to see me. the authentic version is how feels natural for me to present, I hope displaying the full vibrancy of how I prefer to show up. if for you that signals creativity to the detriment of technical skill, I respect that. in that case, check out my formal resume which presents a more normative view of role-specific values

Example Work

unfortunately for the structure of our economic system, I can't show you the work that I'm most proud of, that I created as part of employment. however, I have some little bits that might illuminate

this site and my FLY Yoga sites have been fun project. I decided to make the pages with completely static HTML and CSS. I did this for performance and also for the curiosity of it. for example, rather than having access to JavaScript and frameworks like React to make the link hovering behavior work how I want, I had to figure out the more advanced selectors. fun!

I have a code sample that I made in 2021. for this, note that I focused more on frontend, presenting code style organization, and a sampling of unit tests. this was right before I learned React hooks, so you'll notice that as an obvious omission

Professional Links

what uncommon combinations do you contain?

Yoga & Thai Bodywork

I have been a yogi since maybe 2013 and a practitioner of Thai bodywork since 2019 you can find more info at my site for First Love Yourself (FLY) Yoga

Personal Links

here are some personal links:

want some existential dread? check out my Life in Dots project. I did it as a coding project, mostly to practice the steps of starting a project from scratch. many dots have crossed out since then, and I never got around to making it look pretty
