The author
Online, I go by Heiswayi Nrird, but most people just call me Wayi.
I’m currently serving as a Software Development Lead at Altera (formerly part of Intel), driving end-to-end system design and full-stack application development. I oversee the complete software lifecycle from architecture and design through implementation, testing, and deployment, within a fully automated, CI/CD-enabled environment. My focus is on building secure, compliant, and maintainable systems while ensuring long-term scalability and operational reliability. In addition, I provide UI/UX consulting to ensure our applications follow strong usability principles and deliver intuitive, high-quality user experiences.
This site is a personal space. I don’t post often, but when I do, it’s usually something I’ve been thinking about, sometimes technical, sometimes not. It’s more of a quiet corner for ideas than a regularly updated blog.
