yndajas/README.md

👋🏻 Hello

I'm Ynda (they/them; 🔊 in-duh), a software engineer experienced in Ruby (inc. Rails) and JavaScript-based programming (inc. TypeScript, Vue, and React) with a background in education, research, and community-building.

I currently work at dxw, where I mostly build digital public services, but I also dabble in internal work. The latter varies from shell scripting to user scripting to recruitment to solidarity building ✊🏻 to accessibility advocacy to building an online multiplayer quiz game.

The reason I became a software engineer was to make a difference in a job that combines problem solving, creativity, and a continuous journey of learning and discovery.

I'm also on LinkedIn, Mastodon, and various other social networks (@yndajas). You might be able to reach me by email, but don't bank on it: [email protected]. And I have a lightweight forever-in-progress personal site.

Some personal GitHub statistics Some statistics on the languages used in open-source GitHub repositories I've contributed to

👩🏻‍💻 Projects

In lieu of a hard-to-maintain detailed projects section, below are links to a select few repositories to which I've made substantial contributions.

I don't have a well-maintained CV either, but my LinkedIn profile includes a fairly detailed history of CV-like facts, sans details on specific projects.

Client work

  • Accredited Programmes UI, Ministry of Justice - a user interface to help people in prison access accredited courses
  • Signon, Government Digital Service - a single sign-on provider and access and permissions manager for GOV.UK
  • Report Official Development Assistance, Department for Science, Innovation and Technology - a service for monitoring and reporting on aid-related spending

Games

Various games are available to download or play in browser at my itch.io profile.

I'm also working on a multiplayer game inspired by Colourbrain using WebSockets and a state machine, written in TypeScript and powered by Bun, but this is in a private repository.

Other

  • dxw's playbook - a Jekyll site using Decap CMS
  • personal website - a simple site in terms of content, but a low tech playground (useful features with minimal dependencies)
  • dotfiles - my dotfiles with a setup script powered by dotbot
