I’m just your average software nerd who loves competing on Kattis.com. But let me tell you, there was this one thing that used to bug the heck out of me: setting up code templates for every new challenge. It was like déjà vu with every problem. So, I put my coding skills to good use and created a Yeoman generator that does all the heavy lifting for Kattis problems. I whipped up a Yeoman generator, tailor-made for Kattis tasks.

Building Chatbot Brilliance At Perficient, my journey into the world of chatbot development began. But it’s not just about answering questions; it’s about crafting conversations that feel like you’re chatting with a real person. Some queries require real-time data from our vast website, making it a bit like finding a needle in a haystack. So, I embarked on a chatbot project that aimed higher than the usual Q&A.

The first step was to create a web scraper sending rest requests to the Runescape API for item prices and store in the database for record keeping.

This Website This website is written with Hugo using the terminal theme with some custom html/css added. I chose Hugo to write this because this site is static so no need to overcomplicate it with something like Angular or React. I originally had a totally custom website hosted at https://yodigi7.github.io/portfolio but I found out about Hugo recently and decided to use this as a learning opportunity. It will allow me to easily add additional projects as I make them by just creating a new .
