About Me
A few words...
Hi, my name is Sean Ormiston.
I like software that
solves problems. I like designs that
foster clear thinking, and I admire an
open-source ethos where tools are
specific and knowledge is
shared.
As a newly graduated classical musician in 2012, I relocated to Brazil for 4
years of performance work, learning the language as I went. When I returned
to the US, I started work as a logistics coordinator for an international
performing arts agency.
As an information worker who had to multi-task across the globe, and
anticipate clients' needs with great detail, I began
writing my first Python scripts to create efficiencies and eliminate human
error during repetitive tasks. I began looking at every operation in terms
of its constants and variables...and thinking about the kind of software I wish I'd had.
When I'm not coding, I enjoy reading science fiction and history, foreign
films, kettlebell training, and keeping up chops on my instrument - the
double bass.
