Max asks for my resume
Now when did I last see it...? Ah yes, in August of 2002 I prepared a resume (pops). Wow, that's kind of embarrassing. Still, it was accurate enough then and -- what the heck, let's just keep using it, augmented with this
Resume update
November 2002 - June 2006 Lincoln Action Program: several sequential roles
- website developer, workresources.org and ilausa.org, two Federally-funded projects administered by LAP. Both projects were conceived as tools to help families and change lives -- LAP's slogan at the time.
- project administrator, closing out the Work Resources project and managing the final year of the Internet Language Access project.
- technical support, database development.
Since the Summer of 2006 I've tried to focus on two projects:
- My education. As mentioned on the home page, Flex, Rails and Plone are the top three tools in my current arsenal and I've been working intensively on learning design patterns and best practises in Actionscript, Ruby, and Python, respectively.
- Helping my daughter's new business.
In addition to these, I occasionally take on a side project for cash, such as writing the backend code for the Nebraska Safety Council's new S.T.O.P. Class signup form, or helping the director of the WealthSpring Fund figure out how to make use of related tables in Microsoft Access. Things like that.
The Future looks bright
I've been preparing this Plone website over the past couple of months, intending to wait until a few more of the Sampler sections were functional before going live, but the MaxCongress campaign prompted me to release the site prematurely so's I can get my resume visible, to compete for his campaign's database administrator gig.
Update
Read about yesterday's challenges in making this resume available online max-finds-a-problem-with-my-server. One of the points this story makes is that even though you've made radical changes to server configuration within the past hour, there are indeed other ways to produce an unresponsive website.
