Jamie Blumberg

My need for a new job has gone from “I'm unhappy and need a change" to “I don't hardly have any savings and if I don't get a new job ASAP I will be bankrupt in a month or so”, because I was laid off today.

So:
Hi! I'm Jamie. I write code in Swift, with the exact target/platform not mattering to me so much. I own a powerful Mac so I can contribute to indie/smaller projects without any particular investment. I also have experience managing teams, and I can quickly pick up new skills.

The role would have to be remote or located in the Baltimore, MD area as I have a mortgage that I can't just get out of.

To add searing, salty insult to injury I am still in the midst of the most prolonged mental health crisis of my life. I’ve been suffering, struggling to get out of bed on many days, on and off for about two years with the last six months being particularly rough.

If I wasn’t more scared of oblivion than of being stuck like this forever today probably could have been the tipping point.

And I’ve tried to tell my now ex-colleagues all of this but I genuinely don’t think they ever got it.

To everyone who was kind enough to boost or send me job recs: thank you so much! I allowed myself to take it easy this weekend so I could come back today better rested to start tackling everything.
