Remote worker with 26+ years of experience - Last seen ago

I'm a software developer and educator with a broad range of experience across multiple programming languages and frameworks. My expertise spans languages such as TypeScript, Python, Rust, Java, and C, though Iโ€™ve spent time playing with everything from assembly to Haskell. In addition, I have a firm understanding of containerized deployment methods, AWS services and similar tooling.

Currently, I'm leading backend development for a startup in Taiwan called APro, a content marketing and SEO-focused application. This is primarily TypeScript and Node, though given itโ€™s a small team Iโ€™m doing a bit of everything, just like everyone else.

As a former computer science teacher, and someone who still is very much interested in education, Iโ€™d love to put my skills to work with an edtech company. I feel my background in education, where people skills and organization are key, can dovetail well with my technical skills. As such, Iโ€™m open to traditional developer roles as well as training or even instructional design.

Lastly, Iโ€™m a self-starter. You can see from my blog (https://thespatula.io) and my Github repository that Iโ€™m continually learning and sharing that knowledge. I spend much of my free time building, learning and exploring, and am more than able to quickly adapt to new work environments and teams.
