Welcome.
I am a very self driven developer. This is proven by the fact that the majority
of my knowledge stems from learning from tutorials, snippets found online, and whatever
reading material I can get my hands on. I went so far as to purchase a web development course,
not because I needed it, but because I was curious as to how web development differs from
other software development. Here, you will find just a little bit more about me.
Skills
Software Development
I am proficient in C#, C++, and other programming languages.
I have developed some (small) games, helped fix bugs on a private server for a game, as well as assisted others in various problems they have come across.
I have also made very basic operating systems, and other projects on the Raspberry Pi.
Gaming
I have enjoyed playing games of all kinds for many years.
While some may consider this just a hobby, it is often over looked just how much skill goes in to playing games really well.
Playing games takes good problem solving skills, good math skills, good timing, and sometimes it can be just as stressful as the most demanding jobs.
Art
I have designed my own pixel art for games, also known as sprites. This includes animating game characters.
I have also done some 3D modeling, just to learn a new skill.
Knowledge
I have always lived my life with the outlook that more knowledge about anything is a good thing.
Even as young as grade school, I've always desired to learn something I don't know.
If I can't make use of my knowledge in any other way, I at least try to pass my knowledge on to those who need it.
Most of my knowledge comes from looking up tutorials, reading documentation, or reading books when I can get my hands on them.
This also includes helping others to solve problems with their own projects,
and information I've obtained by working with others by contributing to open source projects.

Hobbies
Learning
I love to learn. There's always something interesting out there waiting to be discoverd.
To quote a famous video game series:
"There is no knowledge that is not power."
Reading
Sometimes, it's good to just get away from the world and sit back with a good book or article.
Designing
Other times, it's fun to just play with a quick mock up of a house design, or a game idea.
Technology
Maybe, it's just my love of knowledge, but I absolutely love new technology.
Whether it's a new phone, a single board computer, or sometimes even a childrens toy, technology just calls out to me.
Swords
Like technology, something about a good sword just gets my attention every time, especially Japanese and Medieval era swords.
