Why this exists

A resume tells you where someone was. Company, title, dates, in reverse order, formatted so a machine can read it. It doesn't tell you what someone did while they were there, or what the work cost them, or what they'd do differently now. It's a receipt, not a record.

I wanted a record.

So this site is organized by what actually happened instead of who I happened to be working for. There are no company names on it, and no dates. Both are easy to find if you need them, and neither one has ever been the interesting part. What's interesting is the moment a vendor sat down to teach us how to use their own product and left taking notes. Or being stuck on a hillside with a machete and no cell service, learning something about field software that no requirements doc would ever have told me.

The rest of it is current. I'm building Groundtruth 911, a validation tool for the people who maintain the GIS data underneath 911 calls. I'm also in an MPH program, pointing it at public safety, because the thing I keep running into is that a 911 call is a health outcome and almost nobody talks about it that way. Those two aren't separate projects. Each one is how I test the other.

This is where I'll write both down as they go. Build notes when something ships or breaks. Public health writing when a paper turns into an actual argument. Whatever else is worth keeping.

No schedule. Just the log.
