Dexter Codo

Hi, my name is Dexter, I code and manage software engineers.

Get to know me

Check out my blog for my opinions in tech

I talk about everything relating to tech including strategies, frameworks, best practices and collaboration.

What I Do

I suppose I am not the stereotyical nerd that comes to mind when someone talks about software engineers. Besides work, I have other creative interests as well. In fact, it was through graphic design that I discovered my passion for coding 20 years ago.

What I Do

Management

I spend a good deal of hours at work creating strategies, designing system architectures, managing senior stakeholders and my team of software developers. The biggest I’ve managed was a team of 32 engineers. It’s at this level where the real work happens and I don’t mind getting my hands dirty once in a while.

Coding

I started coding at the age of 12 and have been doing it professionally since 15 years ago. Now, I don’t code as much as I used to since transitioning into management. But as much as possible, I satisfy my coding passion through various side projects.

Tinkering

Did I also mention that I like to come up with unnecessary problems to solve? :P I once created my own NAS and automated everything in my home. In short, if you have a puzzle to solve, you can count on me to be interested.

Photography & videography

I’ve always been drawn to aesthetics and find myself snapping photos and videos especially during my travels. I now own a few cameras, lenses and a GoPro which I hope to put to good use in creating insightful contents.

Making music

I used to be a DJ back when I was a teenager, creating beats and writing hip hop music. I may have lost some mojo now but I choose to re-live the good old days with my digital audio workstation and midi controllers at home.

Playing the guitar

Back in my music heyday, I also used to play and teach the flamenco guitar professionally. It’s a deeply passionate genre that keeps me going to this day.

PEV advocacy

I believe personal electric vehicles will be a mainstream mobility option for urbanites in the future. Not only are they good for the environment, you have to admit they are cool things to ride on! My personal favourite is the portable electric scooter.

Everything about coffee

I savour coffee for the unique smell of different beans and its bitter aftertaste. Secretly, I think I’m overdrinking now as a way to get back at my parents for never allowing me to drink coffee in my younger days :D
