First, thank you both Michael Patrick and Patrick Michael (the palindrome brothers) for inviting me to apply. If the Pocket culture anything similar to my friendship with Patrick last year, then I believe I may potentially be an excellent cultural fit with the team (of course, cultural cohesiveness alone doesn't send rockets into space). My approaches to critical problem-solving and game theoretical decision-making are unique to my interdisciplinary mindset. I make a point of building interfacial bridges with others so I can better understand what's important to them, and what should be important to me. Lastly, I'm a quick and efficient learner. Here are some of my skills: https://alexburton.com/skills/ and here is my résumé https://alexburton.com/resume (the document could use a little update, but LinkedIn shows some of the more recent updates). Thank you again for considering me for the opportunity. Alex.
