Summary
I’m a computing professional with over four years of programming experience across languages including C, C++, C#, Rust, Python, and Lua. I’ve studied IT and computing formally for more than six years and have dedicated nearly a decade to self-directed learning, continually expanding my skills and exploring new technologies.
My passion lies in software and game development, where I enjoy solving complex problems and creating engaging digital experiences. I’ve worked on a variety of projects, from low-level programming and system tools to game mods and interactive applications. Rust and Lua have become my go-to languages for many projects due to their efficiency and flexibility.
Beyond coding, I am an avid learner and experimenter. I regularly explore new programming languages, frameworks, and tools to stay current and broaden my expertise. I’m particularly interested in free/libre and open source development and contribute to community projects whenever possible, believing strongly in collaboration and knowledge sharing.
Outside of programming, I enjoy writing short stories and crafting character profiles, which helps me develop creativity that often feeds back into my development work. When I’m not in a text editor, you'll likely find me playing video games or drawing illustrations to relax and express my artistic side.
