I am generalized to a fault. I have some data science, front end, back end, and design experience. My favorite languages are Python -- especially Django and Pandas -- and JavaScript -- I love data visualization, React, Vue, and Express.

I love teaching and giving conference talks, so right now those are a huge part of my dev career. Otherwise, I like quick projects so I can pick things up and use them.

Reach out to me on anything code related! I have so much fun with it, and even if I don't know much on the topic, I would love to learn more or redirect you! I am especially interested in front-end development right now!
