Recruiters: DO NOT CALL ME. Inmail is fine. Datastax community: * Created and delivered workshops (mostly building different apps with node, or existing workshops) * Answered questions in chat during workshops and in Discord * Created Katakodas for httpie-astra and node-stargate (now defunct of course) DataStax Sample Applications * Netlify Example Application, with REST/GraphQL/Document API examples * astra-setup python client, reducing setup time for workshops from 30 minutes to 10 * astra-httpie command line interface to astra APIs * Created code-tour repositories for github for self-directed and workshop use with clickable steps * Created cqlsh github repository for use by workshops and documentation LinkedIn Learning Instructor Authored/delivered several courses for LinkedIn Learning * 3 courses on mongodb * How to be a polymath * Deploying Applications in Node.js * Intro to Cassandra (in post production now) Recruiters: Please read this before contacting me with opportunities: * I am a fantastic Developer Evangelist. I am excellent at speaking to groups and individuals, as well as writing. * I write good, task based documentation and example code - I am driven to help developers be successful and am always looking at ways to improve the experience for those users. * I dislike Google-style puzzle interviews (although I love puzzles, and I'm a great engineer!) If you don't want to hire me to do what I'm great at, please don't even reach out. I promise I'm clever and can solve problems in ways you'd never imagine. * My communication/coaching/writing/speaking skills are also fantastic. * I'd like to move to Switzerland * Telecommuting is important enough to me that I left a position with an very lucrative stock position in order to achieve the work situation I wanted. I am most productive when I do focused work from home. * I require a strong salary and excellent health care. I see you, tiny startups wanting an evangelist, and I feel for you, but I must have good benefits. So, having said that, if you think you have a position compelling enough to talk about, feel free to reach out. I'd like to find a position where more of my skills are leveraged.
