Klenwell:

I am a software manager and product engineer with almost 20 years of industry experience. I look to work with progressive results-oriented organizations where I can have a meaningful impact by introducing or extending intelligent development practices using open source software. I will deliver clean software, automate workflows, improve productivity, minimize stress, and promote well-being. I prefer roles where I will have the opportunity to build and lead a team.

== Easter Egg ==
I receive a number of emails and voicemail messages from recruiters promoting jobs for which I would be ill-suited or have little interest. If you have a job opening which you think would appeal to me, email me with the word '''[Smile]''' at the beginning of the subject line.

That way I will know that you have reviewed this information and I can give your message the special attention it deserves. (My email is available at the top of this page and on my resume. No phone calls, please.)

Klenwell: /* Primary Skills */

{{Banner|Please note: Due to COVID-19, I am only interviewing for full-time remote positions. Members of my household are at risk for complications from COVID-19, so the hiring process, too, must be fully remote.}}

== Overview ==
If you have an opening about which you would like to contact me, please review my details below and email me at '''klenwell@gmail.com'''. Please include the following information:

* Job Title and Salary
* Job Description
* Company Overview and Location
* Steps in Hiring Process

To messages that include this information and the keyword at the bottom of this page, I will reply within 24 hours. Usually sooner.

== tl;dr ==
I recognize that recruiters lead busy, complicated lives so, while I encourage you to review this full page if you are serious about working with me, at the very least, look at this section. It will give you the basic information you are looking for.

* Software Engineer and Manager with extensive professional experience in both profit and non-profit sectors
* Prefer role as an Engineering Manager or Director with a stable maturing startup (25-150 people)
* <strike>Can commute to Costa Mesa, Irvine, Newport Beach, Santa Ana, Orange, or work remotely</strike> Must be remote
* Minimum base salary: $225,000 (flexible depending on other factors)
* Contact by email, not phone

== About Me ==
I am a software manager and product engineer with almost 20 years of industry experience. I look to work with progressive results-oriented organizations where I can have a meaningful impact by introducing or extending intelligent development practices using open source software. I will deliver clean software, automate workflows, improve productivity, minimize stress, and promote well-being. I prefer roles where I will have the opportunity to build and lead a team.

You can download my current résumé here:

* https://docs.google.com/document/d/17uj7e9-M1CYo4t6z4yot6Nfr35Pnx946wv0_cV2QE-M

== Primary Skills ==
* Software Development Management (8 years)
* Agile Scrum (10+ years)
* Hiring (10+ years)
* Ruby / Rails (10+ years)
* Python (10+ years)
* Javascript (10+ years)
* SQL (10+ years)
* Php (10+ years)

== Work Samples ==
* [https://github.com/klenwell Github] (various personal projects)
* [https://forekarma.com/ forekarma.com] (Python application running on Google App Engine platform)
* [https://jsfiddle.net/user/klenwell/fiddles/ JSFiddle] (Javascript exercises)

== Status ==
* U.S. Citizen

* Location: <strike>Costa Mesa, Irvine, Santa Ana, Newport Beach</strike> '''Remote'''
* Relocate: No

== Expectations ==
* Full-Time Position
* Medical / Dental / Vision / 401K
* 3 Weeks Vacation (or 4 Weeks Paid Time Off)
* Minimum Base Compensation: $225,000/yr (Salary)

== Online Profiles ==
* https://www.linkedin.com/in/klenwell
* https://github.com/klenwell
* https://stackoverflow.com/users/1093087/klenwell?tab=profile

== References ==
Listed alphabetically.

* [https://www.linkedin.com/pub/kevin-min/a/571/7a6 Kevin Min], Senior Project Manager at First American Trust

== Easter Egg ==
I receive a number of emails and voicemail messages from recruiters promoting jobs for which I would be ill-suited or have little interest. If you have a job opening which you think would appeal to me, email me with the word '''[Smile]''' at the beginning of the subject line.

That way I will know that you have reviewed this information and I can give your message the special attention it deserves. (My email is available at the top of this page and on my resume. No phone calls, please.)
