I`m a graphic artist trying to change careers into something more challenging and it looks like I found it. I love tinkering with code, but I`m very green. I like solving problems and learning, I would eventually like to use my talents to teach and promote passion for environmental stewardship (especially regarding the ocean), clean energy, and sustainable practices in human life. My worldview is rooted in rational, scientific thought and kindness. I believe in the transformative power of emotional intelligence and self awareness, and see both as the key to conflict resolution and effective communication. I live in Charlotte, NC with my girlfriend, Jennifer, my daughter Sophia, three dogs, two cats, a rabbit, and several goldfish. In my spare time I paint, plan and execute home improvement projects, fix my aging car and bicycles, cook, brew wine, cider and beer, play guitar and ukulele, grow things, do yoga, run, volunteer, and travel. Oh yeah, I was in the USAF many many moons ago. ©

As I`m allergic to spaghetti code, compared with Lasagna & Ravioli code. - - - - UX (User experience) DX (Developer experience) CX (Contributor experience) AX (Accessibility experience) Developers Methodologies Agile Scrum Kanban Pair programming Extreme programming (XP) Formal standard such as ISO 9001 or IEEE 12207 (aka “waterfall” methodologies) Lean Evidence-based software engineering Mob programming PRINCE2 CMM/CMMI Level 5 ISO 8000/9000/9001/14001/18001/45001/20000/22000/27001/ 卐 ☮ ☸ ✡ ☦ ☯ âš› ✡ ❖ © ® â–² â—„ â–º â–¼ • ☆ ★ ♀ ¾ ½ ¼ ² ³ ¹ ± α β ♦ → ♫ ♪ ツ † Moves = 2^(n) − 1 ©
