12 years of experience building global B2B web products from back before Ajax was a thing to modern Single Page Apps with REST APIs. Plenty of backend process experience as well, building geographically distributed image and data processing systems. I'm always curious and excited to learn new things, so I'm not just considering more of the same.

This reminded me of NASA's GRACE mission [1] that I recently heard about. It can track the depletion of California's aquifers (for example) based on the tiny changes in orbit of the two tandem satellites.
Was mentioned on a recent Still Untitled podcast episode by NASA CTO David Miller [2], the whole thing is worth a listen if you want to hear him eagerly talking about all the cool things NASA is up to.

That's not actually what the Crockford link says [1] it talks about using array and object literals in place of `new Object()` or `new Array()`. Which does indeed seem faster [2].

I've worked on a wide variety of technologies from full stack (Django/Backbone) development on multi-million dollar B2B products to Linux Kernel Module development with lots in between.
I also have team leadership/management experience including managing globally distributed teams and taking on and removing deeply entrenched technical debt (I have some horror stories).
My weak preference is for a Senior Python developer position, but I've adopted many new (and old) technologies in the past so I'll take on pretty much any technology for interesting work at a good company.
