I'm looking for entry-level or junior dev work and a career change from a civil engineering background (land/marine surveying). I am most interested in DevOps and backend. I'm comfortable on the CLI and with vim, tmux, git, ssh, etc. I also have some sysadmin experience.
My goal is to get my foot in the door in this industry with an established company where there are experienced engineers willing to take me under their wing while I improve my skill set in return for me putting in the hard work and the hours. My university work was in the liberal arts (I don't have a CS degree), and I'm determined to do the work necessary—on my own time—to get up to speed with remedial CS and algorithm knowledge on nights and weekends. I have excellent soft skills, and I'm easily in the 99th percentile of English fluency and written communication. If you need good documentation, technical writing, or even web copy, I can definitely help you with that if you're willing to carve out time for me in exchange for helping me improve my programming chops and technical development. Shoot me a message—I'm hungry to level up.
