About Me

Hello, and thank you coming by.

Intro

I’m Endre Simo, a software developer and creative coder, having an immense interest towards image processing, computer vision, procedural and generative graphics using the web as a medium for playground and the canvas as a tool for visual expression.

Past

My first exposure to interactive and code driven art was in the Flash era, when highly complex and immersive experiments was impossible with the current web technologies. I used to share small experiments created in Flash on WonderFL. (however this site is not active anymore).

With the rapid adoption of the aforementioned native web technologies I started to use Javascript and it’s derivatives for the frontend programming.

Present & Future

Nowadays my professional interest shifted to backend development, but my love for visual programming still persisted.

As a matter of backend programming I’m versatile Go developer (check my Github account for projects written in Go) and interested in emerging system programming languages such as Zig. In terms of professional experience PHP and Node.js are programming languages I’m well familiar with, but my desire towards these technologies are somehow started to fade.

In 2020 I was invited to a few Go related conferences as speaker presenting the Pigo face detection library which I have developed in pure Go. The presentations are available on Youtube.
