I'm β¨ Mochi β¨ (or Mochitto!). My pronouns are: They/them π³οΈβπ
I have a background in Japanese language and studies, and a passion for programming. π©βπ» My focus is on writing maintainable, scalable and testable code, with a preference for functional programming and strong typing. I use linux as a daily-driver, love open-source and any software that allows its community to break it, fix it and make it better. π§
I have professional experience as a web developer (full-stack in the JS environment), but I love local-first software and TUI applications; in the future I'd love to build something using bubbletea.π§
I'm also a member of the Recurse Center, a self-directed and diverse community of programmers based in New York. Some projects I've built during my batch are: Markdown2anki, a fully typed Python CLI tool that bridges the gap between Anki and Markdown files, and Type-config, a Python library that validates and casts types onto a custom configuration file format.
I'm working on a rebuild and redesign of the Jolly residence's website using Next.js, React, Shadcn and Taliwind and will publish the code once it will be ready, as well as writing about everything I'm learning on my website, Mochitto.dev which I'll build as soon as this project will be done β
I'm always eager to learn new technologies and take on new challenges. Feel free to check out my GitHub repositories and get in touch if you're interested in collaborating, have any question or would just like to say 'hi'! π
