puppypride Agro IT
2023 and ongoing

During my study's internship at Agro IT I developed a user friendly web environment for their RVDM.

The company liked what I built and wanted to expand upon it, so they hired me after the internship to finish the prototype and roll it out to clients. Now I work on creating web versions for all their products.

I am the lead developer of Puppy Pride since January of 2021. I develop and maintain Puppy Pride's social network, servers and events.

The site was built from the ground up using the TALL (Laravel) stack and sports a large array of features such as blogging, albums, subscriptions, events, instant messaging, customizable profiles, feeds, groups and advanced group management, and so on.

Furthermore I have gotten experience with a lot of real concepts such as advanced dockerization, deployment, load balancing, caching, server maintenance and more.

Warning: Puppy Pride is an adult themed social network for people into petplay based in England. Explicit imagery may be present. Due to the site's content, logging in is required to view the majority of its features.

Furality is a nonprofit organisation that organises Furality Online Experience (F.O.X.), the largest online furry convention in the world hosted inside VRChat.

Since December 2023 I volunteer for Furality Inc. as a Backend Developer. I work together with the rest of the DevOps Department to work on APIs and systems that use things such as TypeScript, NestJS, Grafana, Prometheus, RabbitMQ, Authentik, C#, Unity, and more.

I am mainly tasked with developing Furality's in-house OIDC system, and expanding Furality's Unity plugins. But I also work on upgrading and scaling queue runners, updating existing APIs that connect with Discord, Patreon, VRChat and others to run the convention itself, and maintaining databases and infrastructure surrounding the systems.

esu Easter System Universe

For the past years I've worked on building and writing a universe of mysteries called ESU. It is now mature enough to release, with several dimensions and planets on which the natives speak their own unique languages.

The universe confronts you with anomalies and alien concepts familiar enough to relate with as they fight for survival in an ever more technological world. Worlds collide as it becomes ever more apparent that the puppeteers of the world might not be who you think they are, instigating a battle in which you must rely on hope to make it through.

The first written story titled "Luther's Throne" is planned to release soon and will be published on this website.

Most of my experiences listed have happened because people approached me with cool ideas. If you have something you need made and think we could provide value to each other, I would be glad to look at your opportunities.

$about_me == "over mij"

Hey there! I'm Pascal, but my internet name is Mid. Nice to have you here on my website. I'm a 22 year old programmer and tech enthusiast from The Netherlands. If you wanna know a little more about me then here are some of the things I like to do. For my past experience and portfolio visit my portfolio section.

đŸ–Ĩ Computers

I love everything tech, as was probably obvious. But it goes beyond creating software. I also built my own computer, and like to maintain hardware. At home I run a server rack equipped with a few Dell processing servers, doing my own research and hosting webservers, bots, multiplayer games and more using software like TrueNAS, Proxmox and Linux.

I daily-drive Linux as my operating systems out of a passion for FOSS and often tinker around with things like RAID and backups and getting all my favorite games to run.

đŸĻŠ Furry

Being a furry is an important hobby and a creative outlet for me. In the digital world I express myself as Mid, an anthropomorphic cat with black fur and blue hair. You'll see him in some places on this website. There are also Martin the pine marten, Seffy the protogen, Koffie the rexouium and many more. I am currently working on a section that details more about my fluffy life and all of my characters.

🛩ī¸ Drones

I like to go out there and make drone videos and pictures with my DJI drones, enjoying nature outdoors and capturing its beauty. More recently I've made some videos for Allroadevents.nl during a few offroading trips.

đŸ–Ĩī¸ Coding

I have an inherent distate to the endless tools, buildsteps and abstraction layers of the modern world. Especially prelevant in fields like front-end webdevelopment. My philosophy on the matter can not be explained better than by Emma Essex, creator of Halley Labs, who wrote the following on their website:

"

as time has gone on, i have become fairly exhausted with the unnecesary bloat in all things. my desire to better optimize, to work with fewer layers of abstraction, and so on, continue to lead me back to a strong desire for utilitarian design. there is a common misconception that stripping things to their roots robs them of personality, or soul. this is naturally catastrophically untrue. it's just that when you get to that point, the soul in all things is so bare that you have no choice but to really try to understand it and interface with it. everything that goes on top is very cute and fun, but attire is primarily cultural shorthand. as a people, we are better than needing shorthand to understand or appreciate the soul in things. i encourage everybody to search for the inherent soul in all things.

I love working with a limited set of tools and create my own way of doing things. Per example, working around the limitations of chat-based bots on Discord to build out my own UI and functionalities. Unusual but robus solutions motivate me to continue.

Virtual Creativity

couch couch

VR is a world where anything is possible. A place where cities can be built with just a few button clicks. A place where friendships and communities are built on creativity and compassion. A place where anyone can be what they want to be without limitation. A place where freedom flourishes and humanity's light shines brighter than anywhere else.

Despite what the failures of big-tech's attempts at creating a metaverse may make you think, VR is a very real and very big world consisting of millions of creative individuals with plenty of proven business models.

couch couch couch couch couch

Because of my adventures in virtual reality I have gained knowledge surrounding things such as game development, modelling and texturing. Most of the avatars shown in the pictures were hand-made by me, and I have created many worlds and systems inside these VR platforms.

In my experience auxiliary skills, like in this case having knowledge of the inner workings of the software that makes these emerging technological markets possible, often come in handy even when working in a completely different field. They make you a more versatile person with a broader range of knowledge that'll help inspire and solve difficult problems with unique solutions.
