Wut up! I'm a full-time game programmer (this is my personal account). I love talking game dev, programming, and story theory.

I want to help game devs who are one step behind me take their next step forward.

I've had the opportunity to work with a lot of great devs and am always interested in new connections. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or requests!
