Resume: PDF

I am a web developer. For a long time I studied Classics (Greek and Roman Studies) formally. Once free of the shackles of academia, I found sustenance in a large warehouse, laboring at night by fluorescent lighting. The yarn I brought into the labyrinth, that I might one day find my way out, was a desire to code. That desire evolved into a new passion. Joy in Classics comes from appreciation, that is, from reading dead languages and marveling at the deeds of bygone times. What I enjoy about coding is creation, bringing new web projects and applications to life. I specialize in the M.E.R.N. stack.
