Open to new work opportunities.

Updated: September 28, 2024

Personal

Doing good. In a fairly uneventful and quiet stride right now – which I enjoy. Very much enjoying the cooler temps and open windows. Still not walking / exercising like I need to.

Work

Working full time for Allovue (since Dec 2023) doing full stack Elixir and Phoenix LiveView web development. Allovue provides accounting software for K-12 school districts.

With the pitch of a small company (~50 people) and a good culture fit, I joined Allovue in December of 2023. Six weeks after joining Allovue was acquired by PowerSchool, and now PowerSchool is going to be acquired by private equity firm Bain Capital.

It is very foggy how things will land with so much change going on. I am giving my long-term future a lot of thought right now and am open to new opportunities.

Side Projects

Working on a LiveView app that does ranked voting called Flick. I successfully used Flick to do a ranked vote for Elixir Book Club. Hoping to do a UX pass on it over the next month or so.

Starting to brainstorm what kind of project I want to work on after Flick. Thinking about customer success software, something that merges support and analytics.

Attending and helping with minimal admin duties for Elixir Book Club. Recently pushed a new version of the website and some Discord changes. We just started reading Elixir Patterns.

Been penciling out a possible new gaming PC, ahead of Civ7 (due in February). Not sure if I want to buy or build.
