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. 🙏

My fellow Europeans, in the last few days the Ban Conversion Therapy initiative has gone form ~300,000 to ~700,000 signatures. There is still one day left! If you haven't yet, you can do the right thing by signing now.

EDIT: We made it! It's nearly 90,000 signatures over the threshold. Extra major props to the French!
