Student Success @ ALPHA Camp. Previously Eng. at Carousell. Passionate about the Open πŸ•ΈοΈ, and now teaching future engineers at a Coding Bootcamp.

Location: Singapore <-> Taiwan

@misterarix I have to say that the American version looks better than the Philippines one...

It's just better with their mascot smiling at us, you know? 😎

You know you are in the Philippines when you look out of your window and see... the Jollibee Tower 🌟

I'm a big fan of focusing on Learner Experience (LX) and Teacher Experience (TX), both of which are crucial to the success of our programs.

LX and TX are derived from Developer Experience (DX).

#introduction time!

I'm Victor, and currently work at ALPHA Camp, a tech school in Taiwan. We can courses such as Programming Bootcamp and courses for Software Engineers.

While I currently lead the #StudentSuccess team, I was previously an Engineering Director at a tech startup.

Some of my interests are:
- #finalfantasy
- #photography (eg. #fujifilm)
- #education
- #programming
- #python
- #rust

Python is my goto language for almost everything, but I am learning Rust at the moment.

Starting a new series on my blog with on ActivityPub: https://cheshire.io/posts/10-05-2020-actpub-part-1/

It's a fun exercise that I've been planning for a while now, and hopefully can spend a couple more weekends on it.

ActivityPub: Part 1

Federating with ActivityPub: Part 1

Facepalm of the day: started a serious Zoom call with a vendor with this background.

Saturday:
1. Figured out how remote account searches are done on Mastodon

2. Built a Starlette starter kit for my subsequent projects: https://github.com/victorneo/starlette-starter

victorneo/starlette-starter

Starter Kit for Starlette-based applications. Contribute to victorneo/starlette-starter development by creating an account on GitHub.

Me, at 12am: "Cool, let's check out this new Python asyncio-based web framework before I go sleep."

Me, at 4am: "Let me read up on uvloop.. before I go sleep..."

Long weekend goals:
[ ] Ride ~100km on Zwift
[ ] Move 1 service usage away from Google (Email? Drive?)
[ ] Get a minimal ActivityPub implementation up and going
@Algot @nolan +1, looking forward to the blog post as well. Nimbus fonts are one of the first things that irks me whenever I setup Ubuntu from scratch.
