James Walker jobs

this is what i do.

[Unless you are a developer yourself] you probably don't see what i do at all. [Except for my own websites] i do not write any of the content, or make any of the images or page designs.

So what do i do? The code that makes it work.

All my code and works are open-source and available for you.

All my work is with Tibetans or local Indians, who are also coders.

Everything i do 24/7 is for Tibet and for dhamma.

i do website build / coding / learning/ advising-training:

My building and coding always includes advising, because i only do it if am sharing with someone who wants to learn how to do. Always includes me learning because otherwise i don't really know anything. :)

these are my current jobs as of March 2020
