From Software Engineer to Medicine Woman, & Back to Tech
After spending 5+ years of my life patiently devoted to strengthening my abilities as a software engineer, my soul needed a change of scenery. In January earlier this year, I left my tech career on a sabbatical and took off on a pilgrimage all over the world and focused on spiritual, healing and musical growth.
The last 9 months have been beyond life-changing. During this time I attended a 10 day silent meditation retreat in Java, Indonesia with my mom, did a 15 day water fast, worked with master healers from all over the world, and assisted music for over 20+ plant medicine ceremonies.
The experience that I have gained during this period has been invaluable. This journey has been a right of passage for growing into a more grounded, kind, humble and compassionate woman of service.
With the last 3 months of this trip in sight, in January 2020 I plan on moving back to San Francisco to integrate this medicine woman with my passion for technology.
This means that my radar is now open for my next perfect professional opportunity!
I’m seeking a flexible software engineering role at a company(with epic people) that is making a meaningful impact in the world where I can both grow in my craft and also further be of service to the world. I’m open to in-office, remote, or ideally some combination of the two. Very open to learning new technology, but most of my recent experience has been with JavaScript web technologies so those are what I am most immediately qualified to do (NodeJS/React/Redux).
If you are interested in me exploring opportunities with your company, when you reach out to me can you answer this one question: "What is the most special thing about working at <your_company_name>?"
Thank you for taking the time to read this ??
P.S do you have an awesome open-source project that needs help? Let's chat ??
Blessings,

5 年I love it when life is be so generous with someone and give him/her the chance to explore, when it free them from responsibility and life commitments and give them the ability to do what most of us can't. And then life open it's arms again after they are done as if like nothing happened. You are between the lucky ones. Keep it up.

5 年Fantastic! After 10 years as a laboratory chemist, I also left to pursue esoteric studies, in hatha yoga, meditation & tantra (among other things!). But after that, I just couldn't go back (I was gone for 5 years). I'm excited to have people with perspective like yours working in tech though - we need more of this.?
