Who am I?
#

My programming journey starts in 2007, I had just discovered the joy of Ragnarok Online private servers when curiosity struck and I decided to learn how these servers worked.
Soon after, I discovered eAthena and created my own server.
Although no one ever played my humble little server, it was an invaluable learning experience which led to a life-long hobby-turned-career.

Throughout my teenage years, I’d often spend time building websites (I tried coding my own Anime streaming site more than once!) or making games, Pokemon romhacks, or warcraft 3 maps. The games I made were fairly simple games, usually made in RPG Maker (Remember RPG Maker 3?), Byond or similar game engines.

Over time, I graduated to more fully-fledged game engines such as Unity, and game frameworks such as Monogame (C#) and Phaser (Javascript/Typescript), and I haven’t stopped making games since!

Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work with incredibly talented developers and artists, and create games (Hobbiest and Professionally) that I’m truly proud of, some of which you can find on this portfolio!
