Top 3 Strengths:
Systems Knowledge and Logic
Communication Ability
React Native Experience

I'd summarize myself as a passionate, analytical person who wants to do good. I've started a number of personal projects (everything from novels to mobile apps) and always become enthralled in whatever I'm doing. My mind likes picking apart problems and seeing every possible aspect of them, working and reworking them until a perfect model falls into place. I think it's fun challenging one's self (be it mentally or physically), so I happily welcome any chance I get.

On top of my many years of app development experience, I also have about 10 years acting as a Dungeon Master. This involves coordinating with 6 or so people weekly, running sessions where I need to regulate players, the interactive world, and thousands of rules.

I am also a seasoned board gamer, having created (and hopefully soon publishing) my own board/card game. I love the logical systems these games create, and even love teaching them to others. I one time received a (sitting) ovation after explaining how to play one game so well.

Lastly, I have experience and proficiency communicating with people with limited communication abilities (people on the autism spectrum, etc).
