I've been a bedroom coder for years trying to start a company on my own. Never had a mentor/teacher, one of my greatest skills is my ability to solve problems independently. I treated it like a job, and never made excuses to avoid a challenging problem. The flip-side is a lack of collaborative experience, which I'm not proud of. I didn't specifically avoid it, it just never happened and I'm here looking to change that.

I'm more interested in working with friendly people than "changing the world". I'm no Luddite, but I will passionately defend the old way if I think it makes more sense. I'm very "anti-trendy" but at the same time will jump on the bandwagon if, again, it makes sense. I'm a pragmatist first and foremost (well I might be a purist first but in spite of that I try to be a pragmatist foremost).

As far as tech, I... Don't really care. I know right??? But I mean, everything has it's pros and cons, the right tool for the job is just so much more important than the tool itself. The only thing I'd flip my lid over is the ability to work in Common Lisp (throwing in Clojure for my Ctrl-f gang, hi!) because it really is just so different. I definitely have preferences for what I'd like to do, but it's more of an "I'll know it when I see it" thing than any particular tech stack. I just like programming, high-level or low-level, it's all just fun to me.

So yeah, I'm just a generalist, looking for a challenge! :)
