Hello Again

I've lived many lives and worn many different hats. My comfort stack is JavaScript on the front- and back-end, but I'm also comfortable with Java, Python, and Ruby on Rails. I would love a chance to learn Elixir...

I also enjoy data engineering, and have experience using Airflow and Databricks to build and run ETL workflows.
