Introduction

Hey there! My name is Jimmy. I'm a lifelong learner with a special interest in language theory.

I have a BSc in Computer Science and Mathematics from UVic and a Thesis MSc in Computer Science from SFU.

I'm originally from South America but I'd been moving around most of my childhood, split across Asia, South America, and the Caribbean. Eventually, I came to Canada to pursue higher education and settled here.

Philosophy

I believe that software systems should be simple, modular, evolvable, and consistent. However, exceptions exist, so we shouldn't blindly follow any of these principles.

They should be simple because for complex systems to work and continue to work, they must start from simple systems that work. Over-engineering is the antithesis of this.

Their design and implementation should be modular because it makes it easier to maintain and refactor in the future.

We also want the specification of the software to be evolvable. In other words, we want the spec to facilitate future spec changes. This helps with backwards compatibility.

Lastly, we should strive to be consistent, both in the behaviour and in the implementation of the software.

Experience

My main background is in programming language design and implementation, with extensive experience developing tools in Rust, C/C++, Java, and OCaml. Furthermore, I also have some experience building web apps.
