I am a recent transplant from New York City finishing an open source training program in Portland, OR. I am looking to learn as much as possible about the city while I am here and open to extending my stay with the right work opportunities. Professionally, I am interested in freelance WordPress projects as well as technology product design focusing on free and open source software practices. My rapid prototyping projects and independent work related to data and career career development in a changing economy have given me some unique perspectives on big data and new business models. Although my passions are technology and the arts, I am interested in networking with people of all ages, backgrounds, and interests in Portland for lunch or after-work coffee.
