Hi! I'm Tahmidul!

Table of Contents

I am currently studying Computer Science at Lakehead University, and hoping to graduate in April 2024. My laziness compels me to learn more about automation so that I can do less work. I’m usually occupied trying to automate some of my personal projects, by using various scripting languages. DevOps is also another skill I am trying to master, since it would automate a lot of my work.

You can find some of my projects on Github @tahmidul612.

Personal Projects #

Homelab/Media Server #

I have had a homelab for personal self-hosted applications for the last eight years. Currently I am using Ubuntu Server in Hyper-V on my primary Windows PC to host a number of applications, mostly as Docker containers. My experience with the homelab has allowed me to learn a lot about networking, server management, virtualization, automation, scripting, and more. Two of the most important applications I have running are Immich (for photo and video backup) and Paperless-ngx (for document management). Adding AI into the mix through Ollama and N8N has allowed me to automate a lot of my tasks, and explore a lot of new possibilities.

Autogenerated Calendar for Free Concerts #

RCMusic-Free

I created a script to scrape the Royal Conservatory of Music’s website for free concerts and events. The script generates a calendar file that can be imported into Google Calendar, making it easy to keep track of upcoming events. The script is written in Python and uses BeautifulSoup for web scraping.

Tech Used

Python
BeautifulSoup

Regex
Google Calendar API

Application Setup Guides #

playnite-config || plexHTPC-config || pwsh-config || fish-config

I have created a number of setup guides for various applications I use. These guides are written in Markdown and are hosted on Github. They include instructions for setting up Playnite, Plex, PowerShell, and Fish Shell.

University Projects #

COMP4478 - Game Programming #

COMP4478_Project_2

Our second project for the course was to develop a game using Unity. We chose to make a simple puzzle platformer. My responsibility was to write the code and use unity editor to implement the user interface for the game.

I also played a part in overseeing the collaboration on Github, to merge the PRs and fix any conflicts. Although not a part of our final grade, I implemented a simplified DevOps pipeline using Github Actions and GameCI, with continuous integration and deployment. When we release a new version of the game, I setup a workflow using GameCI to test the project before building the package for Windows and WebGL. The same workflow is used to deploy the WebGL package to Github Pages.
