“I worked with Peter at Schneider Electric on APC SmartConnect, an IoT service that managed uninterruptible power supplies. Peter proactively coordinated project development, worked with external partners and management closely, and implemented many core product features. He was an expert in Azure, Node.js, and C#, and had a deep understanding of each technology. Peter helped our team identify and focus on the most critical work to make our project succeed, and he worked with team-members on synthetic-monitoring, DevOps, server-programming, and IoT-device plugins. I feel he was a strong programmer, and that he excelled in system-design and project management.”

Systems and methods for providing network connection resiliency in power supply devices

See patentPower systems, devices, and methods include a plurality of network interfaces for providing communication to, e.g., a management server, console, or user interface. One or more controllers coupled to power circuitry determine whether a preferred one of the network interfaces has connectivity, and directs communication over the preferred network interface in response to a determination that the preferred network interface does have connectivity.

Methods and systems for dynamic backup power management at a power node
Filed US US20190107877A1
See patentMethods and systems are described for power state management. A critical usage window may be configured at a gateway node. A change in a power state of the gateway node may be detected, at an interface, during the critical usage window. The power state of the gateway node may be adjusted via the interface for a set duration using a backup power node.

Croner

See projectCroner, short for "ChRONological ordER," is a command-line tool written in Node.js designed to organize pictures by renaming them to a common name format based on their creation time. Croner first inspects the image files' EXIF and metadata to collect the creation timestamp. It then uses this to rename the file in the following format: "YYYYMMDD_HHmmss" e.g. "20171014_142854", which sorts the pictures chronologically.
This tool is especially useful when using multiple cameras for a photo…Croner, short for "ChRONological ordER," is a command-line tool written in Node.js designed to organize pictures by renaming them to a common name format based on their creation time.

This tool is especially useful when using multiple cameras for a photo shoot, e.g. a phone camera and a DSLR. Without the tool, the photos will be ordered by their camera type because most DSLRs do not use a timestamp for the filename. This renaming allows you to see all the pictures sorted chronologically instead. -
Plaid

Plaid is a open source JavaScript library that allows users to create a nice collage of images with very little effort. Just supply your images into a div, call the plaid api supplying a handle to that div with the desired collage width and height and let the algorithm worry about the rest.
Plaid also allows you to enable a lightbox 'dialog' on the images with the an optional caption

I often run into Business types or even Developers who are kind of fuzzy on what DevOps is. The TLDR I give is "you know your application and features? DevOps is *everything else*: databases, pipelines, permissions, networks, domains, certificates, architecture..." Here's a quick and breezy high-level explanation by National Treasure Nick Janetakis -- https://lnkd.in/gdMFCCbh

Good post. I’ll just add that over-engineering and under-engineering are more orthogonal dimensions than the opposites. One can have neither or one or both. Ditto with “best practices”. A third dimension, almost completely divorced from the above two. This, of course, if you’re working on something tangible and nontrivial. If what you need is another “RESTful API” with “AI capabilities”, deployed via Kubernetes and Terraform, monitored with ELK, and developed and maintained by high-churn mid-to-senior engineers, then by all means use all the best practices you are aware of, and don’t forget to get all the agile coaches within reach onboard!

I thought migrating to Yarn Modern was a step forward—until my GitHub Actions workflows ground to a halt. Caching, my usual time-saver, suddenly failed me. As my CI times ballooned, frustration mounted. But I didn't give up. After digging deep into custom actions and the latest GitHub features, I uncovered a solution that slashed my dependency installation time in half. Curious how I did it? I've detailed my full journey from struggle to success in my latest post. https://lnkd.in/edzr7mNF #GitHubActions #DeveloperProductivity #JavaScript #Yarn #npm #Developers
