Senior full stack dev looking for a job:

Email [email protected] to be connected

Senior full-stack developer seeks a company that's making the world a better place and solving interesting problems doing it. After several years in a lead role in the consulting world, I'm looking to join a product shop. I have experience with Rails and Clojure as well as significant experience in several front-end JS frameworks. I prefer to write tests. I have designed APIs, built service-oriented systems, and scaled client projects. In the course of my work, I like to build tooling to automate processes and make my team's lives easier. I'm constantly learning new languages, tools, and skills.

I'd like to combine my solid web app development experience with some of my interests: machine learning, data science, and recommendation engines.

It would also be neat if you are working in the internet-of-things space, or with wearable & ubiquitous computing. And, if possible, I'd like to be writing code in a fun

What is a Code of Conduct?
Why should my event have one? What should I choose to only attend events with one?
What are some good examples of Codes of Conduct?
But words on paper won't stop people from being jerks!
It's their own fault if they don't report incidents, though.
