About Me
As a developer with a strong background in hospitality and growing concern for the prosperity of the world around me, I hope to work with on a team that centers goals of economic or social justice or equity. In my personal life I enjoy cooking, tabletop games, analyzing data, building computers, cats, fermented food and drink, roller skating, ice skating, hiking, gardening, and other outdoor activities. Any position that would draw inspiration from my personal interests would also be of preference.
