As many of you know, my wife and I recently moved to Vancouver.  I have been without a steady income for over a year now, and given the economic (and political) climate in Arizona, work prospects did not look good for me there.  So we have made the tough decision to pack things in and get a fresh start back in our homeland of Canada.

While I am diligent about keeping my résumé up to date, I am using this transition as an opportunity to explore new ways of marketing my self and my skills.  One idea I have to use this site as a platform to share this information more widely.  While ultimately targeted as prospective employers and clients, I hope that it is also of interest to my regular readers, as it will allow you to get an idea of where I am coming from and how the ideas and opinions I share here were influenced and shaped.

As part of this effort, here is a my visual résumé. A typical résumé—or curriculum vitae—is often a long and boring document highlighting  education, work experience, and other achievements.This format has been around since the “snail mail” days and it still works but it’s format and ubiquity make it hard to stand out in a tough job market. This visual resume is an attempt to stand apart for the crowd a bit.  I hope you enjoy it.
