So, I left the consulting engineer job I once loved. Things happen for their reasons and I believe everything always turns positive. As a curriculum engineer now, I have a chance to be involved with something I did well before. Having a long software career, before I studied Computer Science, I earned a bachelor degree in Industrial Design and learned a few musical instruments over the years. My love for technologies doesn't change and I'll perhaps continue contributing to the software community in a different path. Making video blogs and animations is fun so far. Let me first begin with the name simagix. Simagix is not a catchy name and even myself have different ways of saying it. In this video clip, I'll explain where the name came from in this short video.
