My position was eliminated at Trellix yesterday, so I’m on the market looking for my next adventure. I was most recently the UX/UI Engineering Manager in charge of building our design system, had built a fantastic team, and will miss working with each of them.

A junior dev asked me in DMs what advice I’d give them for their first 30 days on their first coding job. I ran this past a group of other very experienced senior devs and got the thumbs up from them. Here we go….

💥 Excited to announce... I wrote a book! A lot of engineering leaders worked to be best engineer they could be… and then we were promoted. It's tough to transition roles. I wrote the book I wish I had when I started leading teams. engmanagement.dev/

We're redeveloping an older app written in ColdFusion, the new app is Elixir but we need a CF dev who can help us with the old CF app as needed the next year. Any CF devs needing to fill available time?

So many folks (esp. the media) are missing the complete backstory on $GME and how we got here. This has been simmering for over a year and the story behind it is great. I’ve been tracking this since September and devoured all of the details from the origin through today.

I have four very strong employees I'd like to find a home for if anyone could use them on a project, or hire direct. One UI/UX person, one Scrum Master/Agile Coach, one Full-Stack Angular Developer and a Business Analyst. I have profile sheets for all four.

We lost a great one today. I’ve had the pleasure to know Bruce these last few years along with his family and they are all nothing short of amazing. Sending all my love to them during this tough time.

I have a #craftCMS lead for a freelancer / independent contractor. Several months of work migrating Craft 2 to Craft3. If that's you let me know.
