I'm in the market for a new job. I'm currently a data engineer and an automation specialist at Rogers School District. I enjoy grinding a way at Python, Powershell and SQL, but I would like some human interaction. So I'm looking for something that can combine my passion for automation and helping non-technical people automate their boring tasks.
I have track record of consistent development work. You can see by my green squares on Github I've been making an impact at my current job. Here's a summary of my work experience and skills.
