Hi! I’m Melissa, a software engineer with a front-end focus and 4 years of professional experience.

I’m aiming for full-time, but I’m open to contract and part-time roles as well, depending on the project. I thrive in environments with a strong engineering culture that fosters initiative, ownership, collaboration, and transparent communication. I have experience in most stages of a product’s lifecycle, including software engineering, customer research, product design, and product analytics.

If your team needs a positive, multi-faceted contributor who can get things done, let’s have a zoom call! I can bring a ton of value to your team, and I’d love to learn all about the problems you’re working to solve.

I agree. I'd even go further; I suspect this show was about redefining the term "diplomacy" for the conservative base.

I think it's a step in a larger plan to start moving the Republican foreign policy platform into include a greater emphasis on diplomacy. Since diplomacy's been seen as the "weaker and less effective" path for so long it needs a rebrand in order to sell it to a strength-worshipping constituency.

theothermelissa | 1 year ago | on: What is screen time doing to children?

Agreed. A lot of convos about kids playing outside point to human dangers -- predators, bullying, kidnapping -- as the "reason" many parents don't let their kids play outside unsupervised, but imo the actual deciding factor is usually traffic.

It seems like a neighborhood design problem to me, at least in the newish suburbs I'm most familiar with. By optimizing for easy-to-drive neighborhoods with large driveways, more of the available space is dedicated specifically to car traffic, leaving less for open or common space. Fenced yards are fun to play in IF you already have playmates -- but without a common place to meet new kids, that can be much more challenging.

theothermelissa | 1 year ago | on: I Lost Faith in Kagi

I think it's a matter of scale. The principles and instincts that guide us in small-group conversations don't always translate well in large groups -- especially in conversations with an imbalance of emotional investment in the conversation. As the founder, you have a lot more riding on every exchange than any user does (even ardent, investing users). And as your user base grows, both the number of those interactions and their visibility and potential impact on your company is growing. So they're increasing in both number and stakes.

Hi! I’m Melissa, a software engineer with a product mindset and experience in product management, sales, and UI/UX design. In my most recent full-time position at AlphaMap I contributed in both engineering and product roles to help the company reach product-market fit. As the first non-founding engineer, I worked closely with the founders to build out numerous core features, and while on product I managed the launch of what has become their flagship product.

Before that, I built a multi-tenant order management system from scratch, then scaled it into a customized fundraiser management SaaS platform (selljar.com). With strong proficiency in React, TypeScript, and JavaScript, I enjoy learning new technologies and taking on new challenges. I am passionate about building high-quality tools to help real people. Grab a spot on my calendar at https://calendly.com/melissapearlmorgan/30min and let’s chat! I look forward to discussing how my expertise and enthusiasm can contribute to the work you are doing.

Hi there! I'm Melissa, a self-taught front end dev with just over 1 year of professional experience. I care deeply about high-quality products and the people who need them. I came to tech from the product side, and have a diverse background including sales, UI/UX design, and product development. I'm looking for a remote software developer position.

In my most recent role I designed and built a multi-tenant order management system to run fundraisers online. I built it in React, and created dashboards for both the service provider and fundraisers, as well as personalized store pages for individual sellers to manage order attribution with point of sale functionality backed by Stripe.

If your team needs a positive, multi-faceted person with excellent communication skills who can get things done, let’s have a zoom call! I know I can bring a ton of value to your team, and I’d love to learn all about what problems you’re looking to solve.

EDIT: I've just joined a really fantastic team. Thanks so much to everyone who reached out; this community is truly amazing!
