Hi there, and welcome 👋
My name is Steve Olsen. I'm a passionate Sr. JS developer (since 2005), compassionate team leader, organized project manager, motivated entrepreneur, and avid husband/father.
STATUS: Open to full-time work opporunities; team lead, architect
Here are some of my projects I've been having fun on (some recent, some older):
Online educator and mentor (Sr. JS Dev)
Goal: To fast-track Jr. developers into Sr. developers, by teaching (and practicing) advanced principles, tips, and techniques to code high-quality & MAINTAINABLE software. Let's get more Sr.-leveled developers into the marketplace, because the industry needs it!

Goal: To provide a simple tool for every time-related task!
Project: Animated ASCII Videos
Goal: To convert videos into pure ASCII art -- why not? Looks cool! 👍😎

Project: Ocarina Tab Maker
