Dad tells me to do something.
I protest, "I am!"
He exclaims, "You're a yam!?"
Cue eye roll.
about me
why, tho?
A potato is pretty useful: it can generate electricity, be used to change a broken light bulb, be eaten boiled/mashed/stewed/fried etc. It can also be used to poison your enemies.
My skill set is also very versatile... just in other ways.
Originally an homage to a quintessential Dad Joke, it might explain my affinity for being proactive: do things before you're asked so you're not subjected to a tuberous tease.
I'm not interested in hustling, I just like to help. Never growing out of the "Why?" phase has benefitted my intuitive problem-solving skills because if you don't understand the reasoning behind the rules then you won't know how to break them in a way that works out for everyone.

portfolio
out of the frying pan & into the oven
Before deciding to expand my service area (hence the creation of this website) I've been gravy with referrals by word of mouth and reputation so I haven't needed a proper portfolio.
And I still can't really mash one together due to the confidential and proprietary information involved with many of those projects, so please enjoy some of the fluff.
