Full-stack software engineer who enjoys solving difficult technical problems and building systems that are reliable, maintainable, and useful. My experience spans full-stack development, API integrations, workflow automation, and quality engineering, and I'm particularly drawn to understanding complex systems and improving how they work.

I am extremely analytical and logical, but also very creative, socially outgoing, and comfortable operating across a very wide range of disciplines. (For example, although I am a strong coder, I also have excellent oral and written communication.) Because I think in terms that are concrete but conceptual, I excel both in technical and non-technical environments, and beyond software development, I've also been involved in workflow automation, technical communication, and QA. I'm a very fast learner and I'm always willing to explore new technologies/better ways of doing things.

It's not a good enough economy for us to be able to do anything. It's not like, if things don't work, we can switch to another job/industry. Many industries are struggling right now, and employers know this. They are cutting costs any way they can in order to stay in business, and we're the recipients of that.

Probably. I do wonder whether there will be some legislation about needing to register a "hit" on a site if AI goes in there and does some digging, instead of a user. You're essentially sending a messenger in to do a task.
