Bio

Uses:

Elements:

Technical and Soft Skills: Highlight technologies used in your automations as well as your collaborative skills.
Socials: Where can developers or recruiters reach you?

Examples:

Here are two examples:

Example 1: Sophia Alice

Hi, my name is Sophia and I'm a data scientist and engineer from Philadelphia. I enjoy working with data in every step of the process, from ingestion to visualization, with an emphasis on machine learning. I'm the co-leader of the Hack for LA data science community of practice.

Includes:

A brief summary of background, interests, and strengths
Your involvement in open-source communities or 100 Automations. If you contributed to any automations, briefly mention them and your role.
Links to professional socials

Does not include:

An expansive life story; the Bio is a place for brief first impressions

A copy-paste of your resume

Example 2: Tim Malstead

I am a full-stack software engineer and designer seeking to help make the world a more just and equitable place through the use of beautiful, intuitive and helpful software. My goal is to create software that helps solve tough problems for real people. I approach each project with a careful eye toward design, ease of use and performance.

Includes:

Your larger goals (personal and or professional)
Your working / problem-solving style
A list of technical and soft skills

Does not include:

An encompassing list of all your skills. Reason: The Bio should provide a brief view of who you are on 100 Automations. Try to keep the list no longer than 5 items. To provide an encompassing view of your skills, provide your LinkedIn.

Quote

A quote from you about automations. Add your personal flair!

Example 1:

"Automations allow us to focus on being productive instead of busy.”

Motivations

Personal/ Englightend Self-interest (Internal Motivation):

What personally motivates you to create automations and contribute to our platform? (e.g. to grow certain skills, increase visibility, give back to the community, etc.)

Example 1:

I'm motivated by my drive to grow as a developer – I want to strengthen my skills in Python and Jekyll, and I want to learn how to write good, clean code by contributing to a platform with high standards. I also want to work with like-minded people who use and want to improve open-source code.

Community Impact (External Motivation):

What around you motivates you to create automations for the open-source community? Was it out of annoyance or need?

Example 1:

In 2020, the pandemic drove us to work at home, and we spent more hours on open-source work. But how do we make our work sustainable over the long run? Automations will help us achieve efficiency in open-source collaborations.
