Today I had to search for Slack messages that were sent long before I was hired to solve a problem at work. In an end-to-end model, you're only going to have logs as far back as you were there to receive.

I typeset my resume in LaTeX, but I ended up formatting it so it looked almost exactly like it did in Word. I should probably update that at some point. But I did throw a \LaTeX macro in the skills section, so anyone familiar LaTeX should n
