-I am inquiring about employment for the Computer Specialist
+I am inquiring about employment for the Software Engineer
 position.
 
-I believe I will be able to maintain a computer laboratory since I
-have previously maintained the makerspace at Gideon Hausner.  In
-addition, I have taught students and teachers how to use the
-technology within the makerspace.
+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.
 
-Creating lesson plans that cater to specific students has been crucial
-to my teaching career.  As a teacher at Hausner, I helped students with
-their science fair projects.  This involved assessing what each
-student is capable of and finding what motivates them.  In the letters
-of recommendation from students, you will see reflections from the
-students on my ability to identify these things and create
-learning experiences that they have taken with them.
+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.
 
-Since I am coming to professional education through
-a non-traditional route, I am not currently certificated.  However,
-I am currently finding my way 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.
+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.
 
-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.
+Clojure makes programming for the web fun again, and Clojurescript means I can
