Most of us would agree that good health and good education are powerful nourishment as we grow into our better selves. My better self is someone who can meld software engineering and data science to make good health and good education more accessible to everyone.
</p>
<p>
My latest milestone towards becoming that better self was graduating from <a href="https://www.gracehopper.com">Grace Hopper Academy</a>, a coding bootcamp that specializes in fullstack JavaScript. I'm currently looking for a junior developer role, preferably one that exposes me to data science and machine learning. But what matters most to me is fit. I will choose people over product any day of the week because, in my experience, harder-working teams with aligned values progress further than more talented teams with great ideas.

</p>
<p>
So what are my values? Assuming the best intentions, giving the best effort, wondering why, asking why not, figuring out how, changing my mind, lending a hand, losing with hope, laughing with heart, and riding my bike.

<h2>The Stroop Effect</h2>
<p>
I found out about the <a href="https://a-k-apart.com/" target="_blank">10k Apart</a> contest too late to submit an entry on time, but I couldn't resist the challenge to "build a compelling web experience that can be delivered in 10kB and works without JavaScript". I thought this would be a great opportunity to learn more about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_enhancement" target="_blank">progressive enhancement</a>, so I'm making a website that will introduce people to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroop_effect" target="_blank">Stroop effect</a>. Part of my education was Aaron Gustafson's <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018BI07OQ" target="_blank">Adaptive Web Design</a>, which has restructured the way I approach creating web experiences that are both accessible and inclusive. I'm incorporating Gustafson's <a href="https://18f.gsa.gov/2015/08/26/aaron-gustafson-beyond-responsive-design/" target="_blank">peanut M&M lessons</a> into this project by making content that is still enjoyable even if only the HTML is rendered. I'm also going to include versions of the Stroop effect that rely on qualities other than color so that color-blind people can participate. For blind users, I would like to make a version that uses audio, but I'll have to research how that can fit within the 10kB constraint.

<h2>Machine Learning Nanodegree</h2>

I'm currently working through <a href="https://www.udacity.com/course/machine-learning-engineer-nanodegree--nd009" target="_blank">Udacity's Machine Learning Nanodegree</a> program (at least the parts I can do for free). The syllabus assumes knowledge of Python, introduces the fundamentals of descriptive statistics and data science, and requires the completion of several projects that apply predictive models to big data sets.

I already started playing around with D3 and can't wait to make maps and slopegraphs.
