ZiMS GP: General Purpose OSS for Video Conferencing
With the current movement from an offline to a digital ecosystem, Zoom, MS Teams and Skype have filled the void of video communication especially for enterprise collaboration. However, the open source general purpose video conferencing market is yet to catch up. The existing solutions either have propreitary backend or are too complicated to make contributions to. This means that if I had a feature proposal or software patch, I will have to go through a lot of trouble and delay to get it merged to production.

Hustler: A Productivity Management Java App
Hustler is a CLI based productivity management application that builds on a simple todo list to add features like different task types: events, deadlines, recurring tasks and tags for storing your tasks and assignments in an organized manner as well as features to assist in completing tasks efficiently like adding a timer and a recommended schedule for when you start working. Lastly, it also motivates you to finish tasks by adding a gamified experience in the form of avatars, levels, points, a shop where you can buy equipments for your avatar and an achievements section. One’s avatar grows with one’s productivity creating an incentive to work harder.

Asynchronous Javascript
I began API development with NodeJS like most people do today. Even after thoroughly enjoying the buffet of npm packages and community support, I admit that I was certainly phased by the sudden around behind languages like Go and Rust whose claims to glory have been significantly improved performance and multi-threaded architecture.
