Hi all! I am a software engineer out of Denver, Colorado. I picked up programming on my own in my mid-20s, have learned great patterns and tricks from great mentors, and many things not do in 8 years of professional programming. One thing I have learned is to care less about languages, frameworks, and tools and more about simple design. A wonderful mentor exposed me to Clojure early in my career. After writing Clojure on and off for side tasks I am finally working for a Clojure-first company. As expected, there is a large gap between personal use and designing / collaborating on production-ready apps. I look forward to growing my professional skillset in Clojure and other FP languages / paradigms. Please reach out if you are looking for a project collaborator, open-source contributor, or mentee. Willing to chip in wherever needed. Cheers!
