What does a “full stack” developer mean? In reality - in the job market - it usually refers to a JavaScript developer, who write backend in Node.js, and frontend in React/Vue/etc (+ sometimes mobile apps in ReactNative). However, using JavaScript for everything is not the only way to build applications. I think we can call ourselves “full stack” if we can build the entire working system, after all. I’m writing here about how I can do “full stack” with my current skills. ...

Here I picked up some of my works that belong to my “creative” side.

A report about my activities in Q3 2022.

This post is a report of my activities in Q2, 2022. While working on client projects, I started learning Information Visualization. I hope this will give me new skills and lead to outcomes in the near future. Client work An app project with a startup Building a new messaging app for teenagers. Switched to tech-consulting work in June Making some features while sharing programming techniques Art app projects with an artist based in New York Technical consultancy work: giving technical advice and writing code together in pair-programming sessions using TUPLE. In-App purchases, image processing, Firestore migration, etc. Learning Information Visualization specialization at Coursera I learned the foundation of information visualization and the basics of D3.js. I’m interested in visualizing complex data these days. My next step would be to visualize the complexity of programming itself. I hope I’ll be able to share the outcome in the near future. Elm + Tailwind + Firebase Hosting I tried making a website using Elm+TailwindCSS and hosted it at Firebase Hosting. The website is here. (The contents are copies of my website.)

Art app projects with an artist based in New York Technical consultancy work: giving technical advice and writing code together in pair-programming sessions using TUPLE. Learning TailwindCSS + Elm I’m making a copy of this website using Tailwind and Elm. Tailwind seems great. Handling CSS had been one of the obstacles for me to get into web frontend development, however, with Tailwind I feel I can finally control the appearance of websites precisely. So, I may be able to work on web frontend projects. ...
