Yves Rene Shema

Vancouver, BC Canada

I am a resourceful software engineer specializing in web development. As a platform, the web offers endless possibilities both in terms of the scale of products that can be created and the technologies, tools and techniques available to the developer. I leverage this rich ecosystem and my creative and analytical stills to design user-centered solutions that meet clients' needs.

Writings

I maintain a blog on github where I write about topics of interest in web development. The short articles are mostly a way for me to record lessons learned in the course of my development journey. If one other person finds them helpful, it would be a bonus!

I am also a music and literature enthusiast. I learned to play the organ at an early age and I can strum a few chords on guitar. When not writing computer programs, I enjoy reading adventure novels and crime fiction.
