"To surrender dreams — this may be madness"
IN FOCUS:
SOFTWARE DEVELOPER
Ever since 13, I've wanted to program computers. I got my big break 4 years later when a kind career mentor connected me to his outgoing role as a Student Lab Tech at the University of Manitoba's Faculty of Education. Since then, it has been my pleasure to use my technical knowledge to fill in the gaps for non-technical professions who are doing great work in their field! And the story continues...
HARD SKILLS AS A DEV
FULL STACK DEV
The .NET Ecoystem, Python and the Flask Family, JavaScript, Node, Mongo, now with a focus on A.I. and machines to make life easy!
SOFT SKILLS AS A DEV
CUSTOMER CENTRIC
Empathizer, Teacher & Teachable, Puzzle Breaker, Idea Generator, Initiator & Executor, Planning and Leadership through Service.
Something I wrote as a hobby over a few hours: Dilbert Search!If you were a DJ (desk jockey) like I was in 2015 working a busy tech job, Dilbert was always a fun outlet. It is no longer in production but this search can look up by one word all the comics from 1989 onwards that have that word in it: nifty when I'm looking for a laugh!P.S : All rights belong to Scott Adams!
I ALSO run:
GREATER CITY!
Greater City (greater.city) is focused on making cities greater through tech. It's a broad goal I know but there are so many opportunities to explore. Our major theme right now is enabling small businesses, and individuals ramp up into the great economic pillars while connecting with government to leverage that height to help our clients achieve greater output!
IN FOCUS:
WRITER
I also love to write! You can check out my blog above or my first book here:
FUN FACT 01
I was an avid footballer (midfielder) but in 2013 I tore my meniscus on some shaky turf. I refused the option of surgery so my knee does interesting things sometimes, though you wouldn't know if I told you!
FUN FACT 02
My favorite movie is "The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" - for its soundtrack and its lesson: That rather than try to recover from big mistakes by trying to forget, open your eyes and move forward.
FUN FACT 03
My favorite quote from any book ever is the last paragraph from "Tom Brown's Schooldays"
I ENCOURAGE!
F.Y.N.D - FiND YOUR NOBLE DREAMS
For the last 9 years, I have been thinking deeply about helping people discover their dreams, and actualize them. It has become such a core part of my thinking that even without sharing this dream, many people have reached out to me to discuss their future plans, and it is always such a productive conversation for the both of us.If this is you, I would love to discuss your dreams with you, and how to make it happen. Greater City focuses on this at a larger scale but if you want to chat anytime? Drop me a google invite: yemi at greater dot city
