Hi πŸ‘‹

My name is KimSia and I'm from Singapore πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¬.

How I got started in dev.to

Came across dev.to a few times during googling for answers in the past. Nothing at those times convinced me to look at dev.to longer.

Initially I thought this is just another me-too dev tutorial + community. Then I googled for vscode extensions materials and found some pretty good stuff that I cannot find elsewhere.

I changed my mind about dev.to

So I dug a bit more and am now listening to the realtalkjavascript.simplecast.fm/b... podcast where Ben Halpern was on.

Decided to take the plunge and follow a few topics. I like the design so far.

What I am interested in learning

I am interested in a range of topics such as vscode extensions, python, javascript, django, react, electron, deeplearning, aws, and database design.

I am also excited abt the new raspberry pi model 4. looking to get my hands on one towards end of year :)

What I'm doing

I run an independent software vendor (ISV) business.

I specialize in end-to-end business processes for telco, civil engineering, and construction companies.

Current main project is for telco equipment company managing their BOQ (Bill of Quantities) process from request all the way to acceptance.
