job title: Assistant Web Developer

hometown: Minneapolis, MN

current location: Evansville, IN

what do you do? When your company requests a change made on their site, a picture replaced, a new email form created, another page added, a page deleted, some different text, an additional phone number, an option added to the admin site, you name it, I’ll make that change. On the developing end, I do some of the more basic programming: turning designs into live pages, writing simple code, adding pictures and text to new sites, and adding features to the admin site.

what’s the best part about your job?
I love the opportunities I have to continue to learn cutting-edge technologies and new web developing languages and techniques. The company fosters a spirit of learning and encourages exploration of the new technologies that are constantly growing and changing.

how did you get here?
I began working for one:ten in the summer of 2008 after learning some Matlab, a little Python, and some NQC at Notre Dame University and Saint Mary’s College, where I am pursuing a dual degree in Electrical Engineering and Mathematics. At that time I was new to web development but under the tutelage of one:ten’s programmers I was soon making changes to our live sites and producing valuable work for the company. I now work part time for one:ten remotely from Indianapolis. I have continued to pick things up and learn more Linux, Python, Django, Javascript, MySQL, HTML, CSS, and more through tutorials, articles, and the ever-patient programmers who never tire of answering my questions.

the interesting stuff:
When I’m not working for one:ten, you can find me knocking on doors in Southern Indiana telling folks about the Lord. In August of 2008, I moved to Indianapolis to be a missionary for the People of Praise and in February of 2010 moved with fellow missionaries to Evansville. I spend my days praying, studying scripture, meeting people and talking with them about following Jesus, visiting neighbors we know well, and together with the other missionaries building a community where Christ is the center and focus of all we do.
