My projects outside of Github

Since several repositories were moving to other services and not all of my work is open source, I'd like to list references to other websites showing my programming or code-related work. This would've been a gist if gists were properly visible. Check out my training repo for examples of my code. This isn't a complete summary of all my programming experience.

Crypto

On the Monero project's self-hosted GitLab: in 2018-2019, I translated user guides to Dutch for the Monero website. I also discussed issues and corrected a few errors.

For the Kovri project on GitLab: in 2018-2019, I translated documentation and the Kovri website to Dutch. The translation has been merged, but it's not been published on the website, since the Kovri project was more or less cancelled after releasing an alpha version. I also corrected a few errors.

In 2021, I completed the CryptoZombies Solidity courses for beginners. This means I can start programming smart contracts on Ethereum and compatible blockchains.

Webdev

In 2019, I created Blockchain Translator, a profile website for myself as a freelancer, built in Bootstrap using Start Bootstrap's Modern Business template. I like Bootstrap and I'm using it offline to create more websites - without using slides or making the user scroll endlessly.

In the past, I used PHP to personalize my Pivot blog, adding multiple blog channels as a workaround to create categories. Pivot was an open-source CMS written in PHP, developed mostly by my blog host Two Kings. I also used the include feature to insert boilerplate into various personal and professional websites, and having grown up in the era of information scarcity, I created a news portal page which displayed categories of links, quotes and images in random order.

Boring stuff

As in Al Sweigart's Automate the boring stuff with Python, which was a lot of fun, actually. With the help of chapter 13 from this book, I used OpenPyXL to edit Excel files for my day job in translation, in 2020. I can't share the code here, because the data and data formats are confidential. I wrote a script to convert reports in workbooks with multiple worksheets into one row each in a database-style spreadsheet - even adjusting the column width to the length of data fields. Separately, I wrote three scripts to organize data in spreadsheets: adding comments to duplicate entries, copying data for entries that matched entries in another file, and adding comments to entries found across multiple categories. This saved us hours of manual work, while producing more reliable results.

From August 1998 to March 2002, my day job was data processing in market research. My job title was application programmer. I prepared surveys for computer-assisted interviews and processed the data afterwards. I used the company's own proprietary script languages: one for marking up the survey text, one for displaying results and analyses, and one very concise Turing-complete script for correcting data.

For my MA thesis, finished in 1998, I computed statistics in SPSS. The fact that I enjoyed number crunching more than you'd expect from a literature student influenced my career choices.
