As a self-taught, high-performing solo developer, I have successfully navigated a diverse range of projects across multiple disciplines, including web development (front-end, back-end), systems integration, CLI applications, scripting and more. With a strong focus on problem-solving, I excel at tackling complex challenges head-on, leveraging my exceptional debugging skills to identify and resolve intricate issues.
As a solo practitioner, I have developed a unique ability to distill problems down to their core components, approach them with creative solutions, and deliver high-quality results under tight deadlines. With no external assistance or handoffs required, I have honed my skills in self-directed learning, adaptability, and innovation - essential qualities that enable me to thrive in fast-paced and dynamic environments.
Throughout my solo endeavors, I have consistently demonstrated a relentless drive for excellence, precision, and attention to detail. By wearing multiple hats across various technologies and domains, I have developed a broad and versatile skill set that enables me to tackle a wide range of projects with confidence and expertise.
I am also a passionate open source contributor and put a great value in the collaborative and open processes involved and currently serve as a member of the NixOS Organization.

Resume-md is a resume building, management, and hosting application.
With resume-md, you build your resume with markdown and the application will build stylized PDF and HTML copies of the resume. Resume-md also will automatically deploy the HTML file as a static website using GitHub Pages. This allows technically minded people to use tools that they are already familiar with (markdown, git) to achieve a professional-looking, fully web-hosted resume with minimal effort. This resume that you’re reading was built with resume-md.
