Create a new about page

Up: Ideas for my web site

My web site does not have a proper about page. It could benefit from one.

Aspects to mention:

What are my current interests?

  • Software development
    • About 18 years of experience with Ruby
    • Hobby/freelance
      • Nanoc, around since 2007 and used by big names, but created to solve a problem of my own
      • closecontact, a delightfully meaningful project
      • … more on my portfolio
    • Professionally
      • SoundCloud, where I was fully trusted to deliver a meaningful, impactful product with plenty of cross-team (even non-engineering) collaboration.
      • Shopify
      • BCG DV, where I gave the ultimate elevator pitch
      • … more on my CV
  • Technical writing
  • Public speaking
  • Design and UX (typography, color and all that stuff)
  • Fiction writing, screenwriting
  • Acting

Also: skills I have (though having a skill does not mean being interested in it).
