Beau Lynn-Miller

My main goals presently are to do things that I find meaning and purpose in, and to foster and live in a great community. Two of the causes I’m most interested in working on are reproductive rights, and education. I put a lot of effort into trying to learn more and get better at a broad range of things, and I’m happy that I’ll always have room to improve. I do my best to keep an eye on the bigger picture, and I seek balance in all areas. The world changes and so do I; whether it’s ideology or programming language, I try to be open to new things. I’m quick to detect subtle details, and follow through has never been a problem of mine.

My biggest passions are learning and plants, though I very much enjoy travel and cooking. Some of my other favorite pastimes include: ice skating, pinball, goaltimate, reading, and board games.

Some of my skills include:

• Picking ripe avocados
• Steering canoes
• Cracking eggs with one hand
• Collecting firewood
• Getting sunscreen in my beard

I've been a developer for about 12 years now, and in that time I've done a lot with the "full-stack". I've spent a few years doing PHP, a few doing server management, and a few doing front-end javascript. My biggest passions in the field are security, and optimization. I love to make things more efficient (use fewer resources, increase conversions), and my article about how hash algorithms work is one of the top results on google for the subject. I consider myself an expert with SEO and analytics, and I'm quite adept at working with relational databases like MySQL and Postgres.
