I make and break apps. Made a lot of mistakes and I like the idea of learning from it. I often read books about several topics but the majority of them revolves around novels with the main purpose of enhancing my written and verbal skills. My technical expertise revolves around the web, using Ruby and Rails. I am continuously learning new technologies and my current interests are pushing both Elixir and AWS to my array of skills.

This is a project I created to satisfy my personal needs. If I need to write an important note or a goal, I put it there. If there's an event I need to go to, I also put it there. Basically, all my needs are consolidated in a way that reduces my mental overhead. This app is written using Ruby on Rails and hosted via AWS using EC2, RDS and S3.

This is my personal tool that fetches the list of commits for a specific repository and in my case, I use it for the `KINNECT` project. This app has helped me give accurate product updates to the client based on the changes I have pushed. I would say that this project is simple yet gives value for its purpose. Also written using Ruby on Rails, and integration with GitHub.
