The author
Online, I go by Heiswayi Nrird, but most people just call me Wayi.
I’m currently leading a few software development projects at Altera (previously part of Intel). My focus is on making sure the entire software lifecycle, from design to deployment, is done properly, with attention to security, compliance, and maintainability. I also take the lead on promoting solid UI/UX principles in our software design.
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.
