Developer and Anthropologist

I'm a web developer with a background in social and cultural anthropology. My current focus is on frontend development and data visualization.

When day turns night and the streets are getting crowded with super heroes, super villains and party people, I'm probably sitting in front of my screen trying to integrate anthropological theory with coding practice and computational concepts or coding concepts with anthropological practices.
Sometimes struggling with minor merge conflicts.
