Bio:
I'm James Jones. My full-time job is teaching mathematics at a community college, with an extra-duty assignment that involves Canvas.
I hate repetitive tasks and will spend 13 hours writing a computer program to automate something that takes 5 minutes to do. This often benefits others in the form of Canvancements, which are my Canvas Enhancments that I freely contribute to the Canvas Community.
