unslick technology that explores big ideas
Grant Elder, a self-proclaimed creative, is carefully crafting a website to establish his online identity. Most memorably described as whimsical, empathetic, and quirky, Grant just strives to be a good engineer. This involves being a well-informed observer of all types of problems, considering creative solutions, identifying a technology that satisfies situational requirements, and communicating that solution effectively. Grant is also a big-picture thinker, which leads to many grand ideas. He hopes that his personal website, grantelder.com, will enable him to explore these ideas by documenting personal thoughts, developing useful tools, and establishing a platform to share technological outcomes with the whole wide world. Outside of this endeavor, Grant can be found coordinating get-togethers with friends, leveraging free cultural institutions, wandering through urban neighborhoods, vibing with his family, and curating his Pinterest boards. His ideal daily routine would involve eating apples, calling a friend, exploring somewhere new, reading an intellectual book, watching college football, and creating a 5-year plan. Navigating the site should be pretty straightforward. Reach out if you wanna!
