(#8252779)
Des Moines, IA | Relocation: Yes | Full Time
Fullstack developer - Ideally looking to work more on the backend but I am flexible.
Backend: Node.js, Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB. PHP (Haven't done anything interesting in PHP in well over a year) - Laravel & CI. Recently started learning Go. Some Java.
Other: Very comfortable in *nix, bash scripting, nginx/apache, and general server/database administration. I've briefly used both vagrant and docker.
Me: I graduated in May with a degree in biology. Why? I thought I wanted to be a doctor. I've been programming since I was nine or ten years old, I first started using GWBASIC on my dad's IBM 286. I've tinkered with a lot of languages since then. After deciding against pursuing med school at the beginning of my junior year I became the technical co-founder of a healthcare technology company focused on streamlining consumer product distribution. Now I'm looking for a position where I can work on difficult problems with people smarter than myself who I will be able to learn from.
