Hello and thanks for visiting!
If you are reading this, I expect we would enjoy chatting about making internet or maybe out of doors things. Grab some time in the next few days, follow along at @[email protected] , or email [email protected] .
I spent the last 9 years with The Walt Disney Company as a tech lead "Staff Solutions Architect" in custom software with a focus on enterprise web applications.
This fall I'm taking a break from full time employment and working on projects in python, fediverse, and data engineering. I would love to hear about work opportunities with start dates in 2025, and project ideas through 2024.
Feel free to connect on LinkedIn.
