This is one of my favorite things I've written this year.

I hope it helps you a little.

🌼 Hey Mastodon! 🌼

After four years at Oracle, I've decided to embark on a new adventure and am currently seeking new opportunities in the tech world. 🚀

I'm especially on the lookout for roles in Developer Relations/Advocacy or Senior Technical Writing/Docs Management. With two decades as an independent developer and extensive experience in developer relations, I’m passionate about connecting with the developer community and bridging the gap between users and products.

Here’s a bit more about what I bring to the table:

⚙️ Developer Relations/Advocate: I understand the developer mindset and have built strong relationships over the years.
✏️ Senior Technical Writer/Docs Manager: I create clear and insightful documentation, drawing from my extensive writing background, including blogging and working with high-profile publications.

In addition to my writing/advocacy experience, I’m well-versed in programming languages like Ruby, Objective-C, and JavaScript, and I also dabble in Swift and Python. My web development journey spans over 30 years, keeping my skills in HTML and CSS sharp.

If you have any leads, advice, or just want to connect, please drop me a message! I’d love to hear from you. Your support means the world to me as I embark on this new chapter. 🧑‍💻💖

Thanks for reading!

I'll stick with my fancy coffee for now, but this disillusionment has happened to me with things like task managers and other tools of my trade. Plus, it's a fantastically-written piece worth five minutes of your time.
