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.

Software Developer @ 84.51°
Kept on after apprenticeship ended. Became an SDET on the data engineering team. No one knew what that meant, so I learned how to do data engineering. Primarily ETL jobs using Hadoop and PySpark for billions of Kroger transactions every week. Moved back to web application development shortly before I left
