Miranda Tedholm
Hunting the Golden Fleece in the JSONs of the world. Extremely employable.
Who is Miranda? A reformed academic, a freelance writer sidelined thanks to a tech that can be described as "autocomplete on steroids," and a recent computer science grad, Miranda has been online since the CompuServe days. Yet she was [redacted] years old before she realized that "being really good at finding people online" was a whole subculture, career, and acronym. Despite never having played Pokemon, she collects degrees and credentials like she's gotta catch 'em all. Two bachelor's degrees, a master's, most of a PhD, and probably able to do the Heimlich maneuver (no promises though). But she yearns only for a job.
