I am a software developer experienced in game development, python, and blockchain. My journey into software development started with Gamemaker, building small games and prototypes. Slowly this evolved to more complex projects, like fractal generators and orbital mechanics simulators. I hope that through my courses I can spark the same curiosity and joy I have experienced.
