SUMMARY
A recent graduate from UC Davis, much of my vocational experience lies in the realm of software and the web. Building things with my hands and in code is a great creative outlet for me, and I love finding new technologies that can make life and work easier. I believe in products that emphasize and improve community concerns, not hurt them. Another chunk of my mind is concerned with socioc ultural theory, with a particular interest in how technology changes the world and how we act within it. Specialties: Javascript (AngularJS, Node.js), CSS 3, C++, C HTML 5, jQuery, CoffeeScript, d3.js, SCSS, LESS, XML Python, Django, Ruby, Rails, Android SDK, LISP, Prolog SQL, SQLite, Wordpress, Shopify, Liquid, AWS
