About me
My name is Roman and I always had big interest for programming ever since school. Baby-Roman (me) did his first small programs and games in Adobe Flash MX and Delphi 6. My first websites were static HTML pages for pre-web 2.0 dumb phone browsers, so my school friends could download MIDI ringtones and java games they wanted, those were the days.
For the last 10 years I've developed backend and middleware in Java and Node, lots of frontend in angularjs, angular and recently Vue. I know my way around styling things with CSS, I can render things into canvas using Pixi and three.js. I did have pleasure writing my own SQL queries as well as calling somebody else's PLSQL stored procedures and it was all fun.
All the NPM quircks, secret Git lifehacks, knowing some Unix bits, Docker - if you're using these tools too (because who doesnt?) - I am your guy.
Code samples to check out
this section is work in progress. I have a vast archive of pet-projects in my bitbucket, i'll try to slowly migrate the more interesting ones here, or at least reference them shortly
Here's a demo app about monitoring stocks I did in Vue recently.
There's some state-management, some web-socket code, responsive layout that doesnt break on mobile and some unit-tests sprinkled in.
You can check it live on GH pages too
Commercial products I have worked on recently
Click around if you're curious. Of course it was a collaboration of an entire team, but my name is still somewhere on git blame in certain places, I'm sure ;)
- Mercedes-Benz online store
- Mercedes-Benz car configurator
- VMWare vsphere client "storage domain" wizards (this is a video-tutorial about using stuff I had my hands on)
Piano Rocker
I've developed a browser game about playing piano called Piano Rocker as my little free-time side project. If you're curious, here's a link to playable demo (a MIDI keyboard is recommended but not required).
Blogging
- my personal techy nerdy blog
- action-sports and active lifestyle blog
- landing page for my friend's tabletop game kickstarter
- "Every mercedes car ever" wikipedia parsing project i did as a hackathon
Also, I've tried doing some unity games
C# has it's similarities with Java, here are a few things i did in Unity few years ago, compiled for web. No visual studio this time, just vsc and some basic highlighting :)
Purple man simulator
Volleyball
Fun codepen stuff
Here's a snake game i did for fun: https://codepen.io/guivarom/pen/OJzBXjK and a slot-machine https://codepen.io/guivarom/pen/KKQvOzE and my cute little blog thing https://roman-guivan.online/
