mirageglobe › About Jimmy MG Lim

Hi, I am Jimmy MG Lim.

Over the decades, some are used to calling me “Guan”, “Jimmy” or “Gao¹ Shou³” (nickname “the high hand”). The high hand was hilarious, as it started as an early habit of me calling everyone else that.

I work in the specialist domains of Information Management, Software Engineering, Graphics & Editorial and Education.

I am the author of “butlerfox“, “Jswissknife”, “up² (usage provenance and prediction) framework” and “zenify series“. I have freelanced since 1997 on software development, worked at these inspiring companies ( Zencargo / QS / Grant Thornton / DEKO / Thoughtworks ) and have lectured at various institutions on software engineering.

You are most welcome to contact me either via email <mirageglobe@gmail.com> or twitter @mirageglobe. Twitter is better :D.

More about Me

Back in 2010 and I was proud to help deliver one of the first Cloud and Green Computing modules in UK at University of Kent. Earlier in 2000, I started web development and focused on helping small business web engineering and design.

Currently, I am involved in agile software development with high-level programming languages such as Javascript, Python, Ruby and most recently C. I am passionate in areas of people management, software engineering on “machine learning, prediction, automation” and “cultures and classic methods of astrology”.

When not doing the above, I am into comedy, reading, mudding, home DIY, cooking, collecting card & board games, rare coins & stamps.
