A collection of my previous academic, professional, and personal work.
This repository contains the code that lays out my present-day coding autobiography.
I am proud about the progress that I have already made as a programmer and I am happy to have the opportunity to share my work with you. This website is visible at https://www.lorelailyons.me. In this codebase, I removed configuration files and assets that are contained in the full codebase. For anyone interested, you can reach out via my site's contact section, and I would be happy to talk about any of my work now or moving forward.
The site is primarily focused on my career and education with regard to my programming; but of course my background is a particularly wide ranging one as a double major in two separate fields.
It is my belief that philosophy serves as a strong foundation for programming, and I am very grateful to have studied it. I am also grateful to be studying computer science at this time in history, even if the market is bad. This is a particularly exciting time in history because of the developement of many converging technologies. Being adept at combining different tools for different jobs is increasingly necessary for everyone, and it is also necessary that we help to make those tools themselves user friendly and accessible. I am very interested in being involved in creating these tools.
I have a passion for how we interface with technology from the hardware all the way to software, and I find immense joy in all parts of the software developement process. I have found myself enthusiastic and inspired every time I sit down to do something even tangentially related to Clojure or programming as a whole, and I am always dissapointed to be dragged away from a problem that I am working on.
I am eager to join any team in developing cutting edge and user friendly applications and systems. If you or someone you know has need of another programmer on their team, whatever the size or environment, reach out and lets talk about how I can be a part of whatever you might be building.
The technologies I used to make this site include:
Clojurescript and reagent (thus including Hiccup: HTML/CSS/JS), Shadow-cljs, GIMP (for image editing), Da Vinci Studio (for video editing), Nginx for the server and Porkbun as a domain service, smartGit, and all the other small peripheral programs and scripts that help me get stuff done (especially Pureref!)
