First Post

Just finished making this site and wanted to commemorate it with a post. I’m hoping to make this site a place to keep track of projects I’m working on, design decisions, or just general thoughts.

A bit about me, I’m a software developer with over 7 years of work experience and have worked on a bunch of different projects over the years. I started at a small startup working on an online health record later working at Meta on their VR projects. After a couple years, I decided to get back to the startup life by working on my own app and later joining a small startup only to eventually boomeranging back to Meta. Since then, I’ve been at Facebook Marketplace working on helping sellers ship items on the platform.

In my free time, I find ways to get busy either through random hobbies like woodworking or 3D printing, or by gaming. I grew up playing LEGO games as a kid playing and have a soft spot for them. I have such fond memories of playing Rock Raiders on my first computer beating the game several times since then. I also spent a ton of time playing RuneScape playing in middle school with friends doing all nighters getting my first 99, eventually maxing my account. I eventually spent way too much time with League of Legends reaching Diamond tier but had to swear off for my own mental.

Lately though, I’ve really wanted to dive into game development and build something (hopefully) fun. I’ve done some work in Unity and Unreal, but haven’t really built something of substance from the ground up. I’ve decided that I’d learn Godot and try making a bullet hell with some heavy inspiration from roguelites I’ve played in the past. I’ll be tracking my progress here and hope that looking back will be fun and potentially useful to someone else in the future.
