-I am inquiring about employment for the Robotics Software Engineer position.
+I am inquiring about employment for the Software Engineer
+position.
-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.
+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.
-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}}.
+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 a large part of
+the tech stack behind my bingo page. Reagent has provided a clean,
+functional way of updating the UI, and I am looking into Reframe to
+handle state update management.
+
+Those are just some of the technologies I learned specifically for
+this bingo page. In addition, I run GNU and Linux on my laptop and
+have been maintaining a personal virtual server for over a decade. I
+am a capable sysadmin as a result.
+
+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. Having a day job where I get to
+write Clojure would be amazing!

+I look forward to discussing my qualifications further and can
+be reached by email at
