Creative, quick to learn, and always up for a challenge! Volunteering with Dreamwidth Studios open source project, I cleaned, edited and patched a backlog over over two hundred user-submitted journal themes, and rewrote the fourteen-year-old code powering site comment pages to match the rest of our site coding and be compliant with modern web standdards concerning design and accessibility. My current project is writing a multifaceted search for our journal themes, so that users can find what they want in the hundreds of themes I added from the backlog.While working at Bedcetera, I re-photographed and edited our full library of fabric swatches before adding them to our online catalog, and I taught myself basic SQL scripting to rapidly update our prices in database, a feature our ecommerce system didn't support. One of my high school math teachers was fond of saying that humans spend a great deal of time trying to find the easiest way to do something, which is a philosophy that applies equally in programming as it does in mathematics - though as XKCD #1205 shows, sometimes the time you invest isn't worth how much you save.Having recently graduated from UMass Boston with a second Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, I'm seeking work in the tech world, particularly in bioinformatics or database scripting.
