SEEKING WORK, New York City, remote or onsite I've been a full-stack web developer for the last four years. Before that I worked as an accountant, a bass player, and even built point-to-point tube amplifiers. These days my main tools are Ruby and the Rails ecosystem with some work in iOS and Clojure. I've built analytics systems, consumer-facing health care sites (not the big one that failed!), and enterprise-oriented education products. I'm also good with APIs and infrastructure. My main strength is the combination of humor and empathy I've developed throughout my diverse experiences. The code needs to work, but it's a pyrrhic victory if the complementary human realities of the stakeholders and team members involved are ignored. Before I program anything, I listen, ask questions, and think. Available for part-time engagements (20-25 hrs/week) involving development, project management, or strategic planning. https://github.com/desmondmonster https://github.com/desmondmonster https://www.linkedin.com/in/desmondbowe https://www.linkedin.com/in/desmondbowe
