Hi there I'm Samir.

I'm a backend developer, as you could probably tell from this website.

I don't care much about how this website looks, I just want you to know who I am, and what I do.

Who am I?

My name is Samir James Buch. Online I am known mostly as Akii or James.

I am 16, and a junior in high school. I've been developing with server-side JavaScript, more commonly known as Node.js, since I began coding in 2017.

What do I do?

Simply put, I design and build data management systems. My work makes sure data is transferred and handled correctly. Given the proper tools (and enough time), I could also probably do a lot more.

An example would be if a client needed an API; I would make the entire API.

Despite me not caring about how this website looks, I do have a fair amount of experience with HTML/CSS. Basics, though. Only necessities.

What have I done?

Right now, not much.

However, I would highlight a few projects:

• lwbot-rewrite, a Discord bot that I started a long time ago. It was initially designed to pull the latest episodes of various Webtoons, but never actually made it there (I'm close though!).
• The Sentinel's Playground's API, which is currently private. This group was looking to do a rewrite of their entire service; a server cluster that hosted online Doom (Zandronum) games. One of the team members found me and introduced me to the administrator, and I began working with them.
• Coming soon™, an image hosting service, which makes use of express.js. I plan on using it for personal image uploading for wherever I need it, instead of uploading to imgur or something mainly because I want to look cool using my own domain...
