<p>Freelance full-stack software developer by day, violinist by night (you can read more about that on my <a href="http://nein09.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">other website</a>). Many of my creations, projects, and involvements are listed below, but not all of them.</p>
<p>I'm always looking for mission-driven work that does some good in the world. I enjoy working with musicians, scientists and academics who want software to support their work, and my favorite projects help translate the domain knowledge of experts into software design that helps them achieve their goals.</p>
<p>I work primarily in JavaScript and Python / Django, but I've worked with Ruby too, and quite a few other languages in the past. Take a look at my <a href="https://github.com/nein09" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github profile</a>, or email me <a href="mailto:[email protected]">here</a>.</p>
<p>Aside from writing easily testable and maintainable code, I am also skilled at project management for small teams, website design, and public speaking.</p>
