The Resume of Chris McDonald, A Backend Developer¶
Open Source Bridge 2011.
Hi there, I’m Chris McDonald but most people call me Wraithan. This is my web resume. If you are looking for a more concise one, you can find that here.
Who is this guy?
- A polyglot who enjoys the commonalities and contrasts of each programming language and platform.
- A native of Portland, OR, USA. (And is not looking to relocate)
- A nerd, cyclist, and metal head.
But more than that I’ve been hacking in Python for 4-5 years at this point, and was primarily using it for web development and devops purposes, 3 of those years I was using Django.
I commonly am teaching myself new languages and frameworks in my spare time, most recently I began using Clojure which I find to be a lot of fun. I recently heard in one of the keynotes at PyCon this wonderful blurb: “When programming stops being fun, I’ll stop doing it.” and I think it describes how I feel about it as well.
