I’m John Metta, a programmer, a hydrologist, an anthropologist, and an all around friendly guy (except when I have to program in Visual Basic… <shudder>… it just makes my inside bits go all wonky! Like when eating sauerkraut)
I Like Doing Stuff!
…like programming stuff!
- I’ve been programming for 20+ years. No, really! I really dig on programming tools that let you deal with complex data sets without the usual hangover. I especially like linking databases & web apps. You know you need to get that data on the web… you know it! Call me, we’ll do lunch!
- …and data stuff!
- Did I mention that I love data? And I don’t mean just because it tastes good on eggs in the morning! I also dig on analyzing it. Time-series data is especially yummy. I’ve worked with Oregon DEQ, The Forest Service, and The Army Corps of Engineers doing everything from hydro-ecological modeling to socio-economics. Does your head hurt dealing with it all? I know, I know, it’s gonna be okay.
If you’re into the old skool, you can download my resume. I’m thinking about making a brochure and something like a portfolio myself, but some people like resumes more. They’re… clean.
I’m John Metta, writer, hydrologist, programmer, Irish flute and banjo player, cyclist, brewer, and a digger of all things tech, and all around friendly guy. Nestled snugly in the Columbia River Gorge in a town called Hood River, I survey the world as my own personal playground.
