Developer with a focus on Linux/Unix systems and Python/Django, and a writer who documents what I build along the way. I dig into why one approach beats another, not just how either one works: an instinct that shows up equally in my code and my writing. Available for remote-first work.
Technical Collaboration with Claude
Work as a team with Claude, who serves as technical editor (including fact-checking and verification), code reviewer, and project collaborator. Together we build project-specific checklists and topic-based playbooks for upgrading legacy projects and starting new ones. We maintain workflow files (e.g. git-commit-messages.md) to track progress across local repositories. Also collaborated on revamping mariadcampbell.com: retiring outdated posts, updating ones still worth keeping, and editing new writing before publication.
Adjunct Professor, Communication Design
Taught Dynamic Web 1 (JavaScript) and Web Design 1. Transitioned coursework fully online during the COVID-19 pandemic using Blackboard, Discord, and GitHub for course delivery and student collaboration. Mentored students individually outside class sessions.
Trademark Database Management (via Inter-Global Media Network)
Managed Calvin Klein's Legal Department trademark system (CPI database), maintaining continuous communication with the legal team and applying close attention to detail.
