About Me
I've been interested in the workings of machines ever since I was a baby - feeding cookies to the VCR to see if the pretty pictures would show up on the TV again. When I was 10 years old, I learned Java because I wanted to learn how to mod Minecraft. I only went as far as implementing a glowy version of the dirt block before I figured, "Wait - I can do lots more with this than crummy old Minecraft mods!" The rest is history.
Outside of programming, my interests include digital art, music production, physics, or anything that's interesting enough. They vary from time to time, but whatever my current interest is, I go deep in learning what it is and how it works. A particular driving force for me is to envision how I might replicate or improve on something I see in the world, even if I don't have the skills at the time.
