Hi I’m Ronaldo. I am a programmor of the Javascripts and am on the githubz. I enjoy long bike rides , fixed gear bicycles and, of course, crypto currencies, technical analysis, and making beautiful or random music. In addition I might consider myself an ‘amateur’ journalist, because I enjoy disseminating news and spent a few semesters in a journalism program.
a pretty chart I drew not too long ago
I also enjoy learning about various conspiracy theories and answering questions on Quora where I’m not sure if I’m really serious about my answers, but I have fun.

My GitHub repositories consist of a variety of computar languages (Javascript ,PHP ,C ,Ruby, Python , Bash), some of which have many followers (more than 30+ is a lot for me) I hope to grow that number; as I’ve never really ‘told’ people about my work, but many find it valuable. I am mostly self taught (from childhood), but spent a few years in a classroom earning certificates in linux administration and computing skillz for scientists at the expense of the City San Francisco and my sanity.
My most popular repositories are
Wordscript - a collection of SQL queries that turn a Wordpress database into a JSON feed/api (PHP,Ruby,Javascript)
crypto-socket - a API library for retrieving crypto currency quotes via WebSockets.
My Side (unpopular) Projects
RemoveTrail - a collaboration I am completing with the Global Consciousness Project hosted by Princeton. It combines RNG (random number data) from sites all around the world, plots them on a map, and provides other real-time streams of data and visualizations of other datasets. It is open source and available here, caution its messy af.
Alterium - a multi-account, multi-exchange, and multi-function, web/electron app to provide realtime calculation of personal portfolio data, in addition to data from whattomine.com. I've been working on this alone for years. I am building it with meteor (nodejs), and react. The interface is designed to show users most/all of their holdings on a single page and provides conversion from alt-coin to BTC/USD values; as well as averaged 'total holdings' calculations. It also connects with a few mining pools. My primary complaint with exchanges these days is you have to switch back to multiple screens to verify account holdings or cancel an order (to say the least)
Well I am excited to be apart of this interesting platform and hope users will be receptive to my posts. I intend to write posts about current events, crypto market analysis, data sets, and potentially programming. But I may also use this as a platform to write ‘fictional’ short stories based on the time I spent working in tech in the bay area from around 2008-2013 that perhaps may eventually culminate into a larger work chronicling this profound and trying time in my life.
Here are some of my websites and links , some as mentioned above
