-I am inquiring about employment for the 5th - 8th Grade
-STEM Teacher position.
+I am inquiring about employment for the Software Engineer
+position.
-During the summer of 2016, I organized a summer camp at Livermore
-Highschool for students of migrant workers. Erin and I taught 2 cohorts
-our challenge-bot robotics curriculum. Students kept their robots, and
-since then, we have been running robotics demos at the Livermore
-Innovation Fair.
+I believe I will be able to implement full-stack features for Ladder.
+For the past few months, I've been learning Clojure's web stack in
+order to create a web app that my grampa and I can play remotely.
-Since I am coming to professional education through
-a non-traditional route, I am not currently certificated. However,
-I would certainly go through the process. For the
-past 3.5 years, Gideon Hausner, a jewish day school for K-8 students
-has employed me. During that time, I have built relationships with
-students, parents, teachers and faculty.
+It is up and running at \httplink{bingo.challenge-bot.com}. You can
+visit it right now, choose any username, log in and get a bingo card.
+It uses websockets to synchronize the game across all logged in
+players. In order to get this running, I had to learn a lot about the
+stack tech that goes into any web page. From http request to A-record
+(and AAAA-record), from Apache reverse proxy to the dynamic duo of
+ring and compojure, I have written and configured the tech behind the
+bingo page. Reagent has provided a clean, functional way of updating
+the UI, and I am looking into Reframe to handle state update
+management.
-As a result, I have received many recommendation letters. Hopefully
-these letters can get me into a teaching position that supports me
-while I pursue more traditional certification. Please let me know
-if you would like to review these letters.
+Those are just some of the technologies I learned specifically for
+this page. In addition, I run GNU and Linux on my laptop and have
+been maintaining a personal virtual server for over a decade.

+Clojure makes programming for the web fun again, and Clojurescript
+means I can create meaningful connections for people like my grampa,
+who know very little about computers.
I look forward to discussing my qualifications further and can
