Hi! 👋

I’ve just been laid off and am therefore extremely available for hire!

I know a decent bit of #Python and some #TypeScript, have worked in #AWS #cloud environments for a number of years now, also love #Django, and have a good amount of practice with #remote work. I’m also usually up for learning something new.

Slightly outdated resume can be found here: https://nkantar.com/resume

Leads and boosts much appreciated. ❤️

Please boost as I'm still looking to find my community here.

#Introduction I'm a disabled non-traditional Masters student with BA in Art, but doing the Masters in plant science. I tend to do qualitative (old school natural sciences & pomology) and interdisciplinary work. Because it's unavoidable as a disabled student - I'm also a disability rights activist and public speaker on disability issues in addition to carob, street trees, and horticulture. @academicchatter #DisabledAndSTEM

Timing and luck can be everything. I sometimes think about the fact that AirBnB is profitable while Uber isn’t is because at a crucial juncture, the #DeleteUber controversies sprang up and VCs invested in Lyft which was close to failing.

So instead of a profitable gig economy monopoly like AirBnB we have an unprofitable gig economy duopoly with Uber & Lyft.

It really goes to show the difference competition makes. Would AirBnB get away with such high cleaning fees otherwise?
