I write software for a living but enjoy writing here in my spare time.

I've spent my nine-year career (so far) in the Boston startup scene, and I absolutely love being a developer! But I write about social issues and personal stuff, not tech. It's hard to focus on normal passions when whether people like me actually deserve to be alive is actively and unempathetically debated by both real and armchair politicians.

Sounds like a little much, eh?

But I really just want you to know that I'm a human being, and that being transgender and having autism doesn't make me less of one.

I work remotely (if you need a Python backend specialist who can throw together semi-decent APIs and sorta get by with React when the project calls for it, I'm your guy), I'm addicted to long walks, I adore springtime in New England, and I love eating sunflower seed butter.

And sometimes, I make art in Google Drawings (it's free, after all)! Here is some of that, just to show off:

P.S. - If you're gonna karyotype me, do it properly. That's Queen Norma to you.👑 😘

P.S. II - If you made it this far and want to read something that's paywalled, just ask and I'll send you a link.
