My name is Xavier Chanthavong, and I'm a Senior Solutions Engineer at Atsign. I have a B.Sc. in Computer Science, specializing in Data Science with a minor in Mathematics from Ontario Tech University.
I'm a big of fan open-source software and love to use open-source software wherever reasonable. I'm truly proud to say that Atsign is an open-source company, and you can check out the platform & tools we are building over at atsign-foundation!
I'm building an open-source tool called NoPorts, you can check out the code here. I use it all the time to do remote development and access my homelab without opening attack surface to my home network.
My workflow is primarily keyboard based and open-source!
My greatest sin to open-source is using MacOS for development But there are a few reasons for why I am using it:
- I have tried Asahi Linux, but no USB-C displays is a dealbreaker with my current monitor (4k@144Hz).
- At Atsign, we work all over the tech stack from mobile applications to embedded systems, so I need all major platforms easily available at all times. You can only (practically & legally) develop for MacOS and iOS from a Mac.
- It's hard to beat the Apple ecosystem... so many little conveniences that are too costly in time to replace.
I have used a lot of languages and I'm proficient at learning good practices quickly. This list is ordered by current proficiency:
