Delon N.

Hi, I'm Delon. I've served as a software engineer, analyst and product designer for over 20 years. I've been tinkering with computers since I was 10 years old and have been engrossed in math, computer science & learning the art of computer programming since I was 15. When I was 18 I got my first professional programming job automating a data conversion for my mother's client.

I enjoy solving business and organizational problems through good communication and just the right amount of art, science & technology. I specialize in designing and building data-oriented systems like scheduling systems, workflow systems, and form systems. I also enjoy graphic design, systems programming & integration, automation, working with arcane data formats, and building compilers and interpreters.

Though I'm comfortable with a wide variety of technologies, most of my work is with Ruby on Rails, JavaScript (including TypeScript) & Clojure. I've also been gaining experience with Natural Language Processing.

Besides computer science my other passion is mentoring & teaching. I've tutored students in math, science and engineering since high school, both professionally and as a volunteer, and have mentored programmers as a team lead, on platforms like CodeMentor & through my own connections.
