Introduction

I’ve been programming almost all my life, starting young when I found a book on Visual Basic 6.0 at my school’s library.

I have a lot of love for programming in general, and I explore a lot of fields and projects both at work and on my free time. In general, I’m a fast learner.

I’ve worked on things such as web pages, mobile apps, games, game engines, bytecode compiled interpreters, operating systems, transpilers, and more.
