I am a generalist who basically dedicates their entire life to programming, and have dabbled a little in everything. My biggest project is a fully functional, Windows/Linux/WASM/Android cross-platform 2D game engine written in C# with SDL as the only dependency, which I have used to develop several small indie games. I run my own bare metal multiplayer servers for my games. I have developed my own IDE in Typescript (with the help of a pile of dependencies, which I am nonetheless pretty proud of), that is mature enough to have replaced VSCode in my daily real-world use. My history of contract work was largely in providing various small web/Windows/Android CRUD applications to fill client needs. My current in-progress projects are working on writing my own language and compiler, and writing a game in assembly. I would say I have a very versatile skillset, albeit not one that I've applied to greatest commercial effect. I'm also confident I can adapt and pick up new skills quickly.

My mother died in a car accident yesterday.

C# specialist, programming generalist. I've written my own game engine, compiler, and a wide variety of advanced GUI applications. I'm most interested in doing independent contract work where I am given a product specification and have the freedom to take initiative in building it the way I see as most optimal. I can deliver a complete and polished cross-platform application with great performance and reliability within 1~3 months depending on complexity.
