Chess.com Staff Profiles! Introducing Patches!!

This week's edition of Staff Profiles features one of our awesome Android developers, Patches!

What is your name?

Patches

Where do you live?

I live in Franklin, TN which is close to Nashville so there's a ton of great music around.

How long have you worked for Chess.com and what do you do?

I've been with Chess for a little over a year and work on the Android app.

What do you like about working at Chess.com?

The people. Chess.com has a bunch of caring, down-to-earth, and intelligent people that are just awesome. The flexibility and mentality of the company really helps me grow and supports my passions.

What are your other hobbies and interests?

There's too many to name honestly :) I practice Krav Maga and Jiu Jitsu in my spare time and am working towards becoming a certified instructor. I also occasionally play drums and guitar. I'm super into music and almost always have my headphones on!

Patches con guitar! :)

If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

It's not really a super power per se, but I've always wanted to be able to do a backflip from standing. So I guess being a ninja? Immunity from zombie bites would be equally neat though.

0-0 or 0-0-0?

0-0 because it looks like a set of eye glasses ;)

Thanks for reading everyone! and thanks to Patches for all your hard work!
