Migrated blog to Jekyll

Oct 21, 2012

I just finished migrating my blog from Posterous to Jekyll. Posterous was acquired by Twitter a few months ago and is now in maintenance mode. I’m now hosting this blog for free on Github and use Octopress/Jekyll to generate the files. So far, it is really a joy to write all my posts in Markdown. I’m basically blogging from Vim right now (and using the Hammer plugin to preview my posts). I wish I had done this move earlier.

Hey there, I'm Olivier Lalonde, aka Oli, an entrepreneur / software engineer from planet Earth.

Misc. facts about me: I co-founded Binded (acquired by Pixsy), authored a function in Node.js' standard library, wrote an npm package that gets ~30M weekly downloads, was an early adopter of Bitcoin and wrote one of its first alternative implementations.

Most of my experience has been centered around full stack web development but I have touched many other areas including distributed systems, machine learning, DevOps, computer vision, information retrieval, mobile, smart contracts, etc.

These days my language of choice are Rust and JavaScript. In terms of tools, everything happens in Neovim, tmux and zsh.
