tyrel
I'm a senior software engineer with thirteen years of experience - mainly in Python development. I started off working at small agency, a couple startups, a biotech company, and most recently an enterprise insurance leads sales company.
I really enjoy working with Python, and try to focus my career and communities around Python. I've worked with and would work with again both Go and Ruby. For Ruby I've done Rails and Sinatra, and Go I've built a CLI tool and and APIs. While primarily backend focused, I have progressively expanded my front-end skills over time, transitioning from jQuery to VueJS. Collaborating well with fellow engineers is one of my strengths, and I find great satisfaction in mentoring and supporting others in their growth.
Location: Durham, NC
Remote: Only.
Willing to relocate: No.

It was difficult to figure out how to set an avatar at first, I had to go under my stream page and edit there, rather than in the settings. Maybe I'm confused between the distinction between a user and a stream?
Of course -- YMMV, and you should definitely back up your database before.
If you want to check how many bits your key is, use
ssh-keygen -l -f ~/.ssh/your_key.pub
(It wasn't mine, while it is an older key, mine is larger than 768 thankfully)
Edit: look at timdorr's example for a better visual.
I'm from New Hampshire, which has a very small black population (less than 2% I believe). It was always awkward when girlfriend's parents would make a big deal about "Oh my god you're dating a black man?" when they would tell their parents my name.
Another story is when I was in college, I joined a fraternity. The only black member at the time was disappointed, when we met he said, "Aw man, I thought you were black!"
My last story also is from college. I moved into a dorm where I had a black room mate named Jared. People would confuse him for me, and vice versa, a lot if they hadn't met either of us, but needed something from us. Saying to me "Is Tyrel around? Oh I thought you were Jared..." and the opposite to him I presume.
Over all, I don't have many problems with my name, but I do wish it wasn't people's first impression of me. I try to put my face as my avatar on everything, hoping that people aren't discriminating against my name when they do research on me, but that they discriminate for my abilities.
