I'm Victor Edwin Reyes, but you can call me Victor! I'm a student taking up a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science at the University of the Philippines - Diliman. Aside from that, I've had a wide range of experiences in many academic fields. I've also taken on a number of leadership and training roles in various organizations and projects. Including:
- Intern for UPRI
- Backend Developer for GINA
- Developer for DRAP
- Technical Head for DeliVault
- And most recently, Director for Engineering of UP CSI
Out of the many roles I could call myself, I think I'm currently happiest calling myself a computer scientist. It's a nebulous and broad term, because my interests are about as nebulous and broad. I have experience in full-stack web development, data science, game development, and low-level systems development, and I'm interested in exploring further in all those fields.
If I were asked to pick for now though, my best fit is as a full-stack web developer since that's where my strongest experience is. Like I said above, though, I don't think my strengths just lie here.
Really, at the end of the day, I think my skillset is easily applicable to other fields with just some prep time. Computer science as a field equips me, and others like me, with the tools to design solutions that are versatile across diverse platforms and implementations.
Whenever I have spare time, I work on some of my other hobbies - reading and writing stories, playing video games, working on a coding project, or learning some new skills involving some of the prior three.
I'm currently exploring Tauri for use in developing desktop applications. I'm also exploring shell scripting right now, with the intent of teaching my colleagues how to manipulate computer systems without a GUI (among other goals). I'm also studying Docker and deployment platforms for similar reasons.
Be good, be kind, be brave
