Hi! My name is Judy Y. Fong. So, I’m Judy. I really believe in open source, especially in regards to books. Therefore, I have made it my mission to make old books available to a wider reading audience, with a focus on Icelandic books first.
I also work on language technology, a.k.a. natural language processing and artificial intelligence (AI) sometimes with a current focus on financial technology to aid me in my bachelor of arts (BA) in Icelandic as a second language studies and thesis, with a minor in Business administration (Íslenska sem annað mál 120 ECTS aðalgrein með aukagrein í viðskiptafræði). I am hoping to finish my hopefully trilingual thesis by December 2024 because I have failed to finish it it in the 2023-2024 school year, a.k.a. the previous two semesters.
Additionally, I have a blog where I talk about various interests. My semi-decent projects are listed here. Extremely rough projects can be found on my GitHub profile. I have written a few academic publications and given some related talks. You can read more about my professional career on my simple(EN|IS) or verbose resume. In my free time, I have translated a few fictional stories.
If you would like to request my services for your business, please contact me
at blog@judyyfong.xyz with a subject line that
indicates which service: e.g. [Website Services] Let's discuss.
Making websites is what I have been doing for over a decade as a freelancer and as a software developer. I have worked with Wordpress, Drupal, PHP, Bootstrap, various CMS, and other web development technologies.
One of my main focuses when making a website is making it responsive. This means your website will work on any device: phone, tablet, or computer. This is especially important due to web browsers’ and Google’s decision to rank websites with responsive design higher than non-responsive websites. A responsive website means, with a large number of web traffic done by mobile devices today, viewers and potential clients can access your site with ease.
I have also been a data scientist for five years. So I can work with databases, data files, and things. This means I help create a more organized and well documented space be it virtual (website) or physical (office or home).
I offer proofreading in English and Icelandic along with copy editing if you are also interested in that. My services start at 20,000 ISK per hour.
I teach Icelandic through my online school, Menntaskólinn í Hamraborg í Lautarvík við strönd og woods. I also offer tutoring at 30,000 ISK an/per hour but if you have services to offer then we can also barter.
I accept payments via GitHub sponsors and via PayPal.
