      <h3>About me</h3>
      <p>
        Hi! 👋 I'm a Canadian expat living in Bergen, Norway. My academic
        background is a bit of a patchwork quilt, with swatches drawn from
        philosophy, logic, mathematics, linguistics, informatics, English
        literature, and psychology. Before that, I studied in the visual arts track at a Franco-Ontarian arts magnet high school.
        Professionally speaking, I am into matters revolving around formalisms, visual design, methodology, improvement, team wellbeing -- and
        wherever these intersect.
      </p>
      <p>
        I love colours, powerlifting, parrots, aroid plants, early analytic philosophy, version
        control, cycling, nail polish, CSS, making and consuming food,
        making and consuming music, and Amsterdam. 🥰
      </p>

      <h3>Experience</h3>
      <p>
        I've been working at <a href="https://www.equinor.com/">Equinor</a> since 2023 and am currently working within its Software Engineering Enabling Team as a frontend specialist.
        With Equinor's support, I have partnered up with other frontenders in Bergen to organize events for our local frontend community, <a
          href="https://frontiersbergen.dev/">Frontiers Bergen</a>. If you live in Norway, check us out! 😄
      </p>
      <p>
        Before life at Equinor, I worked as a UX Engineer and Agile Coach at the Centre for Quality
        Improvement in Clinical Practices (<a href="https://www.skilnet.no/">SKIL</a>). I also worked as a developer at
        <a href="https://www.knowit.no/">Knowit Experience Bergen</a> and
        <a href="https://www.vizrt.com/">Vizrt</a>. While at Knowit, I created
        the Frontiers Guidelines: an open-source front-end development
        guidelines template, inspired by Brad Frost's
        <a href="https://bradfrost.com/blog/post/frontend-guidelines-questions/">guidelines questionnaire</a>. You can
        check out the Frontiers Guidelines project
        <a href="https://github.com/knowit/frontiers-guidelines">on GitHub</a>.
      </p>
      <p>
        I'm really fond of taking in and giving talks about all aspects of
        life in teams at work. If that's your jam, too, you might want to
        check out my talks: <a href="https://vimeo.com/692587426">Make Yourself at Home</a> and <a
          href="https://vimeo.com/812980594">Art and Method between Scylla and Charybdis</a>.
      </p>
      <p>
        Speaking of Art and Method: I've also started a small nail polish art project that goes by that name. More on that later this year! 💅
