1. Profile I have always enjoyed computers, and have been designing and building websites and web
applications since 2000 or so. The thread that connects my career path is my love of building
tools for people to enjoy learning from and using. I want to develop software with a small
team using git and project management tools to collaboratively solve problems and write well
crafted, test-driven code.
