vaxandi forritari | aspiring graphics programmer | amateur linguist | wannabe game developer | adventuring animator | music enjoyer

+Hey, I'm CJ! I'm a 20 year old from Kitchener, Ontario with dreams of being a graphics programmer/technical artist/game developer. I attended Software Engineering Technology at Conestoga College between September 2023 and August 2024. Turned out software engineering wasn't my cup of tea, so I dropped out. Nowadays I'm just working on projects and trying to teach myself a few things. +I do not use generative AI in any of my work. At this moment, I do not plan on using generative AI because I do not need it. My goal is to learn, not to be productive and fast; AI is a tool that I'll prefer not to use for my projects. + +I try to use mainly free and open source softwares (FOSS) for my projects. ## Check out my stuff on: - [GitHub](https://github.com/CJSatnarine) (All my coding projects are here) - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@CJSatnarine) (I'll upload something soon, probably) - [ArtStation](https://www.artstation.com/cjsatnarine) (I don't even use this but I guess maybe in the future I will) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/cjsatnarine/) (I'm not on there so often) - -## Contact me via: +## Feel free to contact me via: - `.just_cj` : Discord - `satnarinecj101@gmail.com` : E-mail diff --git a/content/about_me/_index.md b/content/about_me/_index.md deleted file mode 100644 index d1d1193..0000000 --- a/content/about_me/_index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,80 +0,0 @@ -+++ -template = "index.html" -title = "CJ Satnarine" -+++ -Hallo, I'm CJ!

- Vaxandi Forritari -

- -The phrase ***Vaxandi Forritari*** is Icelandic for ***learning programmer***. I loved programming since I was 16, discovering my love for it in highschool when learning to make a game in the Unity game engine. I'm familiar with the following programming languages: -- *C#*: learnt it in 2021 for scripting in Unity -- *Java*: learnt it in Computer Science class in highschool, spent most of my time in Grades 11 and 12 using Java -- *Processing*: used it for making graphics in Media Arts class in highschool -- *Python*: learnt it for scripting with the [Blender Python API](https://docs.blender.org/api/current/index.html), later used it to try out Pygame and [Blender's game engine](https://upbge.org/#/) -- *Arduino*: this is C but I learnt this before learning C/C++, used it in Computer Engineering classes in highschool -- *C/C++*: used a bit of it for programming [Mirobo UBMP4s](https://mirobo.tech/ubmp4) in high school Computer Engineering classes, learnt way more in college when persuing software engineering -- *6808 Assembly*: learnt it in college and I never want to touch it again -- *HTML, CSS*: learnt it to make this website -- *JavaScript*: learnt it to script in Three.js -- *Lua*: used to configure Neovim, used a bit with LÖVE - -

- Aspiring Graphics Programmer -

- -My admiration for computer graphics grew with my interests in programming and 3D animation. Since July of 2024, I have been trying teaching myself graphics programming (it's difficult but I love it). Currently, I am teaching myself *OpenGL* and *GLSL*. Eventually, I hope to move onto something modern like *Vulkan* once I'm more experienced. I also hope to experiment more with *HLSL* in Unity and the *Godot Shader Language* in Godot. - -

- Amateur Linguist -

- -From a young child I had an interest in linguistics. For a while, I was grinding Duolingo, but that felt more of a game than actually learning, so I stopped that and tried learning languages through other means. My native tongue is English, but I find interest in these other languages: -- *Deutsch*: currently learning both Hochdeutsch and Schwiizerdütsch from my Swiss friends -- *Español*: learnt some Spanish when I was younger, not really good at it but I can barely hold a conversation -- *Français*: learnt a bit in school, but my French is really bad as I often confuse Parisian French with Swiss French -- *Nederlands*: learnt some when I was younger, I'm not as good as I used to be -- *Dansk*: an unfortunate event occured -- *Íslenska*: I know this cool Icelandic guy and the language is so cool because they still use þorn -- *Norsk*: Norwegian is interesting but I already know some Danish and I'm not sure if I want to learn Danish but less funny-sounding -- *Lingua Latina*: learnt a bit in school, pretty cool language -- *ελληνικά*: Greek is kinda cool, I wanna learn it in the future -- *Русский*: I have no interest in learning Russian but I am going to torture myself by learning Russian just to read Tolstoy's War and Peace its original language -- *Suomi*: my brother is learning Finnish so I might learn it as well for the funnies -- *Davvisámegiella*: I discovered Northern Sámi through music, and I think it's a cool language -- *Kalaallisut*: Greenlandic was also discovered through music, I think it's also cool - -Unfortunately, I do not think I'll be able to learn all of these languages. That's fine, I'm happy about learning as much as I can. - -

- Wannabe Game Developer -

- -I have had an interest in game development for as long as I have been learning to program. Throughout my time programming, I have used (and plan to use) a couple of game engines: - -- *Unity*: this was where I learnt how to program in C#, and where most of my experience lies in terms of game engines (picked it up in 2021) -- *Godot*: learning Godot because I love FOSS, I use C# instead of GDScript for scripting (picked it up in 2025) -- *UPBGE*: tried out [Blender's game engine](https://upbge.org/#/) for a few months but I wasn't a fan of scripting in Python so I ditched it -- *GDevelop*: yeah no -- *LÖVE*: tried it out but it was more of a playground than using it as an actual game engine -- *Pygame*: did a bit in highschool, but that's about it -- *Kyzen*: soon to be first beta tester of [Kyzen 2D game engine](https://github.com/luut189/kyzen) - -

- Adventuring Animator -

- -While learning and falling in love with programming at age 16, I also fell in love with *Blender*. My introduction came from Media Arts class, where I initially learnt Blender for making assets for Unity. I fell in love with creating models and experimenting with shaders. The following two years of high school were spent developing my skills in the software. After graduating highschool, I stopped using the software to focus on software engineering for college for about two years. Now I hope to revisit this old passion of mine, and also venture into the unknown territory of digital art with *Krita*. - -

- Music Enjoyer -

- -I listen to a lot of music. Uh, what type of music? It's a complicated mess. The genres and languages of the music I listen to is very diverse. I hope to eventually learn how to make my own music for future animation and game development projects using [LMMS](https://lmms.io/). - - diff --git a/content/blog/_index.md b/content/blog/_index.md index d2d6c1d..663c20e 100644 --- a/content/blog/_index.md +++ b/content/blog/_index.md @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ +++ -title = "Blog Posts" +title = "Blog Posts (Rants)" sort_by = "date" template = "blog.html" page_template = "blog-page.html" diff --git a/content/projects/adventuring_animator/_index.md b/content/projects/adventuring_animator/_index.md index fa291f9..ce0a2be 100644 --- a/content/projects/adventuring_animator/_index.md +++ b/content/projects/adventuring_animator/_index.md @@ -2,5 +2,6 @@ template = "adventuring_animator.html" title = "Adventuring Animator" +++ -I sometimes animate.
