-I am inquiring about employment for the 5th-8th Grade STEM position.
+I am inquiring about employment for the Software Engineer
+position.
-I am not certificated, as I am coming to professional education through
-a non-traditional route. 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.
+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.
+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.

-I am currently involved with the Santa Barbara Hackerspace.
-We were donated one of your robots and I have been greatly enjoying the process of restoring
-the robot to a working condition. I believe that my previous experience in building advanced \cpp \space applications,
-as well as my prior experience building and producing hardware/software systems,
-will strongly relate to helping advance the work InTouch is doing.
-Constantly learning and pushing my knowledge of new technical skills is important to me,
-and it looks like this position, and working with the InTouch team would allow me to do just that.
-I feel that the combination of my skills, as well as my desire and ability to quickly learn new skills,
-could make me be a valuable asset to your team and help build better medical robots in the future.
+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.
-I look forward to discussing my qualifications further and can be reached by email at
-\href{loman.daniel@gmail.com}{\textcolor{color2}{loman.daniel@gmail.com}}.
+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
