About Me

Big Nerd, GameDev, Writing unhealthy amounts of C

I use computers a hell of a lot, and would much prefer if I had control over what my computer’s doing. This has led me down the linux rabbit-hole, and I now much prefer it to whatever’s going on above ground.

I like making games, with far too large a scope. As a result, I am currently building out my own engine in C after escaping C++. Some of my earlier projects have been more immediately impressive (i.e. playable), but I just grew to really dislike working in C++ and with other people’s libraries. I also really enjoy the fact that if I’m working with straight C, and something breaks - it’s going to be my fault. That being said, I think I’ll rely on OpenGL for graphics rendering. I’m not quite that masochistic.

In terms of boring computing, I reluctantly work with AWS for my job and have a certification that you can see on linkedin if that’s your cup of tea.

The best way to reach me is by email.
