WORK HARD, PLAY HARD, KEEP LEARNING

I love programming—it's been my passion for over twenty years now. What keeps me excited is that there's always a new puzzle to solve and about 10,000 different ways to solve it. Between raising four kids (now in or headed to college!) and diving deep into code, I've learned a thing or two about juggling priorities and finding creative solutions.

These days, I'm having fun building custom wagtail blocks at The Motley Fool, where I get to tackle interesting challenges with a great team. I also spent some time mentoring new developers at Code Institute, which taught me that sharing knowledge often teaches you as much as it helps others.

I'm a big believer in agile development - it's been the most rewarding way I've found to build software that actually works for users. I recently learned how to customize style and javascript linters too, because there's always something new to learn in tech and inflicting consistency helps make the code maintainable.

What I'm looking for is a collaborative team where we can build cool stuff together, keep learning from each other, and maybe have some fun along the way. Remote work is a plus—it turns out you can write great code from anywhere!
