I chose to prove rather than promise since I believe actions speak for themselves. My goal in life is to create a lifestyle for myself centered around my interest in the fields of finance and technology, while positively impacting society as a whole. Over the past year and a half, I have taken more direct steps to achieve my goal. I interned at Bank of America Private Bank as a Portfolio Manager Assistant. In my role, I support 2 teams of Portfolio Managers and their Associates to prepare client investment recommendation letters, portfolio performance, and presentations. I also assist with ad hoc projects for my teams. I am currently enrolled in the Bridge-To-Tech program to develop my tech skills and increase my mastery of coding. Since the Bridge-To-Tech is apart of the NYC Tech Tallent Pipeline after my completion of the program. I will be enrolling in Fullstack Academy and start learning full stack development with Javascript. I enjoy learning more about finance and technology through reading, attending meetups, learning new formulas/functions to expedite my projects, and studying coding languages to add value whenever possible. ©

I am Kurt Texter, an artist and designer living in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district. My work is spread among graphic design for both print and digital media, web and user interface design, user experience, service design, general design strategy, and research-based methodologies. At the moment I’m looking for freelance projects and researching full-time opportunities. Collaboration, honesty, and supporting others in the workplace are core values I hold. I’m seeking to be part of an active, passionate team to work on any number of projects. I’ve had the pleasure of working with design teams for clients such as Adobe, ICON Aircraft, Microsoft, NYAS, and Sonos. In addition to my love for video games, the outdoors, and expanding my cooking prowess, I’m always juggling numerous projects. Currently I’m evaluating how to best support my community in San Francisco regarding social, economic, and political concerns. I plan to call the city my home for the foreseeable future. ©
