Welcome to the team! I’m so glad you're here.
If you're reading this it's likely that I am either your manager or a prospective coworker. One of the working relationships we need to define is ours.
When I'm not coding or managing, I love to garden. I love plants and have a hard time not buying plants when I see them. If I'm in an office, and our space doesn't have plants it in, I'll bring them in. I've brought a bunch of biggish plants into previous offices to brighten the space.
I have two dogs and used to volunteer at a dog shelter.
I drink too much coffee. I love coffee. I've taken classes on espresso brewing and own a semi-fancy espresso machine.
I like to cook but I'm adequate at best. I make an OK breakfast. I lived in Australia for a bit and acquired a taste for Vegemite.
This document is, and always will be, a work in progress. It’s meant to be documentation on me. As I change and examine my values, so will this document.
Three reasons for this to exist:
- The creation has helped me identify my responsibilities and values
- Hopefully this helps you understand me and helps us work together
- It captures what you can expect out of an average week working here
Important: This is NOT meant as a replacement for getting to know each other. It's also not a set of excuses for bad behavior. I don't get to be a jerk because I warned you in advance.
