Welcome to my README.
I am Robert Ismo, I am a backend developer from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
storytelling is more than just narrative and emotion. To convey a good story you must know your audience. It's about understanding interests, values, and beliefs and using them to create a story that resonates. It's about presenting information in a way that is both informative and entertaining. It's about creating an emotional connection with the those experiencing it...
That's it! it is about experience. So what are we experiencing now?

Many of the news articles that I've seen focus on ongoing tensions between Iran and the West, as well as the US presidential election. In Lebanon, a commander in Hezbollah's Radwan unit was killed in a strike in Southern Lebanon. In America, President Biden is connecting with a different type of evangelical voter than before, and he's travelling to Charleston for a campaign trip. Meanwhile, Florida's governor Ron DeSantis will have less influence over this legislative session due to his focus on the presidential primaries. In addition, there was a scary incident on an Alaska Airlines flight that caused part of the plane’s fuselage to blow out mid flight. Finally, this week was also the Golden Globes ceremony; we’ve seen some photos and heard about Lily Gladstone making history and some of the best and worst moments from it.

I am Robert Ismo, I am a Backend Developer, I currently work at Gnomic, I build education software. The experiences I create will touch a lot of people; understanding the impact that it will have and the stories people will create is one of the most important aspect of my job.
Building is equally artful as it is technical. I hope we all can build extremely cool things, and share them with the world.
