Evan DowerHi, I'm Evan (he/any).<br><br>TLDR: I'm a privileged white hetero-cis-male politically <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/left" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#left</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/triratnabuddhist" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TriratnaBuddhist</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/softwareengineer" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoftwareEngineer</a> (#IHelpPeopleGetJobs) currently in <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/seattle" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Seattle</a> but planning to move to <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/aotearoanz" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AotearoaNZ</a> or <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/australia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Australia</a> as so as we can manage it with my wife &amp; 3 kids<br><br>I'm politically <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/left" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#left</a> (at least in United States terms). I'm a <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/voting" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#voting</a> nerd in that I have a favorite voting-related textbook (Collective Decisions and Voting by Nicolaus Tideman).<br><br>I think we could mostly solve <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/gerrymandering" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gerrymandering</a> by making larger districts with ~5 representatives instead of just 1 and then using <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/singletransferablevote" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SingleTransferableVote</a>. That would strike a nice balance between local &amp; proportional representation. For single-person positions, like presidents/governors/mayors, STV becomes <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/rankedchoicevoting" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RankedChoiceVoting</a> (aka <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/instantrunoffvoting" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InstantRunoffVoting</a> aka <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/alternativevote" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AlternativeVote</a>) which eliminates the spoiler effect and leads to more civil campaigns.<br><br>Plus, <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/rankedchoicevoting" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RankedChoiceVoting</a> eliminates the need for primaries and runoffs, which can lead to significant cost reductions.<br><br>I'm training for ordination with the <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/triratnabuddhist" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TriratnaBuddhist</a> Order (#dhamma, <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/dharma" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dharma</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/buddhism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Buddhism</a>) and have been for many years. It's a long process, especially with other things going on. I've done some kind of <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/meditation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meditation</a> (mostly <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/anapanasati" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#anapanasati</a>) every day for over 3 years and more sporadically since 2006.<br><br>That said, I do take issue with some of the things the founder (Sangharakshita) did, and I'm concerned with a recent rise in sort of guru worship around. I can have gratitude for his explanation of the dharma, try to sort out the idiosyncratic bits, and still view him as a deeply flawed human being. <br><br>I write <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/software" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#software</a> for <a href="http://indeed.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://indeed.com</a> (job search site) (previously employed by Amazon). I've written a lot of <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/database" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#database</a>-backed <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/webservices" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#webservices</a> in <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/java" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Java</a>, but in the last few years, I've been working on <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/microfrontend" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#microfrontend</a> platforms in <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/javascript" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JavaScript</a> &amp; <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/typescript" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TypeScript</a>, primarily supporting <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/react" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#React</a>.

Since we're both in high-demand professions (she's a nurse), I think it should go reasonably smoothly 🤞. Feel free to get in touch with job opportunities that offer visa sponsorship, suggestions for <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/kiwiana" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kiwiana</a> or Australian culture that will help us adapt, reasons that your city is the best, etc. I always blow on the pie when I wear my jandals to the dairy. If we ship things over, I can only hope that the front doesn't fall off the boat. I hear that only rarely happens. <br><br>My daughter Juniper was born at the beginning of 2020, so her experience of life and my experience of parenthood are both tightly linked to the pandemic. On the upside, I get to work remotely, which means I get more time with her. She's a lot of fun (and of course a lot of work).<br><br>Then, we had our twins Heath &amp; Magnolia (Noli) in September 2023, and our lives got even more hectic and full of love.<br><br>Juniper goes to a Waldorf school, and I wish I could go, too, but I think the adult version of Waldorf school might just be therapy.
