4200 - Introductions (Blog 1)

An Introduction

Welcome again, Amirali Mohayaee here. I'll be dedicating this sub-section of this blog to the 4200-specific items, which will be tagged under the 4200 label.

My main goal for starting this blog was as I had mentioned in my initial post on the blog, was and still is to document my work and what I go through and to also comment interesting and relevant articles and information.

While initially I had mentioned a select types of projects back in 2017, I will be deviating from those as they are both outdated and not very viable and attractive as portfolio pieces. I would rather have very good and impressive work-examples to show instead. One can't really learn by not branching or avoiding pitfalls.

What I'd aspire to be is someone with a solid foundational knowledge base and keen eye and discipline for solving problems. I would also like to reach for a high-level understanding in framework development, making use of the right patterns and data types, rather than do what I do now and pollute my code.

The reason why I am looking of focusing on these topics is that they are actually my weak points from my own perspective, but I will go more in depth in a later blog post.

4200 - Previous Experience (Blog 2)

Prior to joining the 4200, I had some experience with projects ranging from group projects to individual ones. The programming languages I've covered throughout the years are C++, C#, Java, Python 3 & 5 and HTML5. I'd definitely consider C++ the one I'm most familiar with. The projects I've worked on range from published work on appstores from when I worked at KillerBlitz and VectorDojo studios, ranging from working with the Android SDK to Unity. Majority of my other projects are on Github with those consisting of OpenGL and DirectX, with decent familiarity with said APIs. I've also had good familiarity with IDEs such as VisualStudios and Oracle for multitude of different projects. -Amir

4200 - Strengths and Weaknesses (Blog 3)

Strengths and Weaknesses Strengths Strong Communications skills.  Good understanding of the discipline, patterns and data types.  Willingness to tackle challenges in an effort to learn and further strengthen skills. Good in teams Good understanding on where to start when tackling errors and issues Never content with where I am at a time with current skillsets and understanding, in an effort to keep pushing myself. Weaknesses Bad when working individually as a sole contributor to a single project. I like working around people more as it gives me more motivations. I need to ask twice to ensure I've gotten something right. Might not be compatible with all types of personalities.  Currently not very satisfied with where my foundational knowledge. I still need some more practice in some areas to get a complete understanding of things I've forgotten. Uncertainly of applying certain patterns or how to correctly apply them, which can sometimes lead to over redun...
