I’ve been working with computers for more than thirty years and programming for the web since 1996. I am well-versed in HTML, including HTML5, and Javascript, including ES6 and jQuery, on the front end, and PHP, Python, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Apache, and Nginx on the back end; I have also worked with Rust, Go, ColdFusion, ASP, and Ruby, as well as Node.js and Angular 1.0.

I have a bachelor’s degree in Classical Studies from Earlham College, and experience in live theater - on and off stage. Additionally, I have worked with statistics and data management, and am published both scholastically and in fiction. All of this helps me bring a unique perspective to my programming and development.

From 2012 to 2021, I worked primarily as a freelancer so that I could maintain my parents’ house for them and, since I was a single parent, make sure my son had the parental support he needed to grow up and finish high school.

Location

I strongly prefer remote work, and (barring special requirements) do not need additional equipment to be able to work remotely. I cannot relocate at the moment.
