Today marks 7 months of unemployment and I am very much down to the wire.

I am a full-stack & backend web developer, fluent in TypeScript, with experience building data-focused applications and both SQLite and Postrges databases.

I’m located in the northeast United States and have experience working and successfully collaborating with small, remote teams.

Boosts are appreciated. πŸ™

I recently joined the board of trustees for my town library because I wanted to serve in my community, away from politics. That was a adorable notion.

@mathowie @beep we are in a similar situation (like where we live, don’t like driving so much), and thinking about the future. I wonder if e-bike infrastructure or some sort of low-power self driving car system will emerge to save the day. Putting any hope in tech seems dumb, but not being hopeful about the future also sucks.
