I'm a Digital Humanities graduate student and nascent developer. Heigh-ho Silver, away!

I enjoy finding answers.  Do you have questions?

As a student I assisted others in honing their projects and help form consensus on shared projects.  I work with an eye for nuance in research and writing.  I emphasize 'final polish' and clarity.  I enjoy finding solutions and balancing 'the best answer' with 'the most expedient answer.'

The same can be said for my other work.  Finding new ways to address the technical needs and the needs of family and friends thrills me.  Incorporating open-source and shared-source solutions is fun, though sometimes 'cheap and easy' is not the best and most expedient solution or one that helps me grow. I want to grow.
