ABOUT ME

Heres a little read so you can learn a bit about me.


HISTORY

I was born in New Zealand and have spent my entire life here. I've always had a
great interest in programming. Since the age of 11 and have spent the majority
of my time learning and building up my skills with different programming
languages, frameworks, and toolsets. My earliest programming adventures came
about in my days of Minecraft modding which was what inspired me to become a
programmer by encouraging me to learn the Java programming language.


INTERESTS

I am very interested in learning about topics related to programming. I have
spent almost all my education career following the programming pathways. I quite
enjoy working with other peoples code through reverse engineering and other
collaboration.

Outside of programming, I am also I am interested in bodybuilding, and I like to
stick to a strict exercise routine and strive to achieve my goals and improve
myself.


PROJECTS

I've worked on many projects throughout the years, many of which are readily
available on my Github. The majority of my GitHub projects are licenced under
the MIT license.

My projects come in all kinds of varieties in all different kinds of languages
and frameworks. Feel free to take a Take a look around and see if any of them
pique your interest.

TECHNOLOGY

Below is some of the frameworks, languages, and technology that I work with


BACKEND LANGUAGES

I am very familiar with languages such as Java and Kotlin having roughly 5 years
experience programming with Java, 2 years with Kotlin, and 3 years with PHP.
Since march of last year I have been making great strides with and am now able
to comfortably use the Rust programming language and expect to use it quite
often in future projects.


FRONTEND LANGUAGES

I am very well accustomed to popular frontend languages like Javascript and
Typescript with around 5 years experienced in them both added up. I have been
using them a lot throughout many of my projects. I am also quite familiar with
CSS and HTML having around 5 years experience using them both.


IDE & EDITORS

Previously I would have preferred to develop my applications using the JetBrains
collections of IDE's however I've since grown away from these as my usage of the
Rust language has increased and have since started preferring to use VSCode for
most projects. However for writing code in Java and Kotlin I will use JetBrains
IDE's still as they are a well designed tool for the right job. I have also been
experimenting with modal text editors such as NeoVim and Helix in my off time.


BACKEND FRAMEWORKS & TOOLING

I am very familiar with the Laravel PHP framework having shipped multiple
production projects using it in the past. NuxtJS was the framework which I
previously developed my personal website in, among other side projects. I have
used NodeJS to make bots as well as other useful tools and full on server
systems. This current iteration of my website makes use of the NextJS React
framework. Recently I have come to use the Actix and Axum web frameworks while
developing my Rust applications.


FRONTEND FRAMEWORKS & TOOLING

I am quite familiar with a number of front-end frameworks my favorite of which
is VueJS. I have a few other assorted frameworks mixed in throughout my project
but VueJS tends to be the one I rely on the most. However recently I've been
using React more often.
