Ahoj, there! If you're reading this alert, please know you've arrived at my old website.
You can find my new one at

Welcome!
My name is Alex Dunne. I'm a math educator transitioning into a career as a software developer.
My preferred programming language is Python. I've used it to write scripts, games and web applications. I'm curious about where programming intersects mathematics, education, medicine, research, journalism, gaming, good causes and the arts. Data privacy and human-factors design interest me too.
Coding Projects
For web projects, I've tended to use Flask and sqlite on the backend;
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the frontend. Most recently, I've used React.js
and Docker.

Please feel free to contact me regarding any professional
opportunities you think I might be a good fit for. Although most of my

I am open to opportunities in automation, data science and AI.
