Be aware that LinkedIn profiles are not necessarily visible to everyone, even if you think it's public, especially if people are logged in to LinkedIn.

For instance, I'm usually logged in to LinkedIn, and your LinkedIn profile may be blocked or only partially visible because we're not "connected" enough.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

How is the tech employment situation in that area? My wife and I are considering moving there.

Denver, CO here. Very good, it's hard not to find a job if you're halfway competent.

Also in Denver. Lots of folks hiring. It's a fantastic spot, although I definitely prefer Denver to Boulder.

Location: At the moment, DC metro area, US

Remote: Absolutely, remote position preferred.

Willing to relocate: Yes

Technologies: Python, Django, JQuery, Git, Linux, Puppet, Postgres. In the past I’ve also worked in the Java, .NET, and PHP ecosystems, but I won’t swamp you with all of those keywords too.

Portfolio: http://grokcode.com/programmer-portfolio/

Hi, I’m Jess. I build things that surprise and delight people, and I use data to make the world a better place. I want to work for a company that does those things too.

By trade I am a software developer. I build awesome webapps and have done a bit of data science work too. Along the way I’ve picked up enough related tech to handle the full stack: frontend, backend, devops, database administration, and even a touch of design and marketing.

My current weapon of choice is Python, but I believe in using the best tool for the job.

I’ve built data-crunching SaaS tools for internet marketers, a hosting dashboard, open source Django apps, Stripe payment integration, WordPress plugins, and a bunch of odds and ends. You can see some of the highlights in my portfolio.

Also, I have a snazzy bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley, and enjoy opportunities for continued education.

For the past few years I’ve been a solo bootstrapper working on Author Alcove, a book discovery service for readers. I’ve hit a bunch of new user milestones, worked through scaling issues, learned a lot, and had a great ride, but now I’m ready to move on to my next big thing.

That big thing is a full-time position with a company that moves quickly – a startup or established company that has lean / agile in it’s DNA. Broadly speaking, I am interested in alternative energy, quantified self, home automation, and developer tools. But there are intensely interesting problems in every industry, and if you are solving them, I would love to hear about it.

At the moment I’m in the D.C. area of the United States. Remote work is preferred, but relocation could work, especially if the location is warm, walkable/bikeable, and low crime.

If you think we could build amazing things together, let’s chat: jess@grokcode.com.
