Software Developer ยท Worldbuilder

I'm a full stack software engineer who's a little too obsessed with his dog.

From LEGOs to lambdas, worldbuilding has always been a passion of mine. That's what led me to programming; it gives me the means to create an entire world out of nothing.

Take a look at what I've created and let me know what you think!
