Hi, I’m Trace Tessier,
Software and Web Developer

My passion is making things work. I find problem-solving uniquely satisfying, and my nontraditional career path has given me a wide range of experiences to draw from while doing so. If I don’t immediately know how to do something, I take great joy in figuring it out.

Programming with a purpose

While I relish the feeling of flow that comes when immersed in a codebase that I’ve come to know inside and out, it is also important to me that the work itself be meaningful.

I am drawn to software projects and organizations that exist to benefit people – from computational methods aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as leukemia and Alzheimer’s at a small startup, to data and image analysis of MRI brain scans at a multi-site medical research consortium.
