I am a…

• remote-first,
• freelance,
• full-stack (what do these labels even mean anymore?)
• developer
• at it professionally since 2017, and,
• as a hobbyist since 2008 (it’s been a while huh?)

I’m currently working with an independent review platform for education technology products worldwide.

It is a gambling at the side project casino: “It’s a career for gamblers. Every time you write a book, you’re throwing the dice again, and you don’t know whether it’s going to crash and burn or be a big success.” - George R.R. Martin

As another emailer explained, tiny projects can provide the creative insights that give large projects direction: “My small projects help inform how my big project is working, where my main project is the tree trunk and the tiny projects are its branches.”

You used to put side projects on a CV to land a career in tech. Now, side projects can be your tech career.

I'm a digital freelancer, writer, uncle, internet troublemaker, and fond admirer of the French Goodbye.

Du fait de la passion:

• L’inclinaison excessive pousse les individus à se donner dans un domaine/sujet sans véritablement compter leurs heures.
• Briller à travers les passionnés#
• Un sas de créativité
• Avoir de l'expertise
• Enfermement dogmatique
• Un chemin personnel
• c'est hors-norme
• Un risque de briser la diversité
