Note: I no longer maintain this website and its only here because it was a nice learning experience once upon a time.
Taking this website as an indication of my current ability might be misleading, I haven't built a pure HTML and CSS website in years :) I lean more towards react and SCSS now or other frameworks in that direction.
Happy exploting the mind of a young Remigius. I have been working on a refreshed version on this website with react and graphQL, it will be uploaded soon :)
Working on
blogs
- Elon Musk(Electric cars vs Tesla)
- Music(Started writing about artists I like)
guides
- Vuejs - I just started learning this really powerful front end framework and I will start making some tutorials to go along side our nodejs backend works, should be tons of fun.
Oh and yes I did change James into a 4Bit advertising bot, he needs to help pay the bills aswell.
I work on these blogs in my free time and lately I have had less and less of that, I will try and keep them up to date, add more content and finish the content I have started but it is pretty hard to balance with work and all, I will need to make up some kind of schedule but I will get it done, thankks for all the feedback :)
About Me
I am a tested developer who loves to code, 2 years experience in software development both full-time employment and freelancing. Demonstrated track record of completing projects on time and within the allocated budget.
Bioinformatics?
I obtained my Bsc Information Technology majoring in Bioinformatics from Multimedia University in Malaysia. Bioinformatics
is a hybrid betwean Information Technology and Biotechnology, Bioinformaticians are highly specialized computational
thinkers, understanding in great detail aspects of Biology and Information Technology.
The Bioinformatics course covers all areas of standard Information Technology courses as well as standard Biology
courses, this intense workload and diversity makes Bioinformaticians tough, preasure resistant, pacey, creative
thinkers.
Bioinformaticians can work in full-time Information Technology sectors, Biology/Medical Labarotories or in the
growing Bioitechnology sector, which is a combination of the two.
I have knowlegde of all aspects of the development stack, front end design as well as backend processes that are critical to the functioning of mobile or web apps but like operating systems they are a piece of software that loves to fade away into the background, making life easier without us even knowing they exist.
Experiences
As a full stack developer at Rainmaker Namibia I was dubbed "Special Projects Geek", which basically means I was the guy they pushed to the limit to get the things no one else knew how to do done. Its a fun job and I love it as its a learning experience every project requires you learn a new technology. I am constatly being moved around to help out on different stacks of the developers team, I handle everything ranging from front end web design to javascript backend web functionality and API building. This constant change in what I do has made me a more versitile developer as I am now use to change, It has helped embrace new technologies, learning them as fast as possible to get the job done.
Straight out of college I was handed the dawnting task of not only learning iOS development faster than fast
I had to do it completly on my own whilst making sure that we had a beta test in 3
months.
Here I learned about iOS development in both Swift and Objective-C, I also got first hand experience on how
apps are built from the ground up, I learned about all the tiny little details that most developers are not
exposed to, API designs, Database designs, as well as a long list of best practices for performance enhancement.
While in college I decided to take up some freelancing jobs to help me better my skills as a developer, here I learned about dealing with clients, keeping schedules and the importance of delivery.
Talk is cheap, show me the code!.
Projects
The following are a collection of part time projects I have worked on. Some I have decided to open source and are available on github, others I have decided not to open source due to customer requests or other factors. (Please feel free to clone and send pull requests for any open source projects, help is always welcome.)
James is Written in Python and uses multiple API's to gain data, (Everytime I find a fun API James gets a new skill) I am currently working on adding AI capabilities using IoT and Google's Tensorflow library.
