Hey, I'm CJ! I'm an aspiring graphics programmer/technical artist/game developer from Waterloo or Kitchener or somewhere in that area it's basically the same city. I like coding and animating and languages and computers and reading and music. I'm not like the other programmers, I avoid caffeine since 2022. i use arch btw but I'm not that lost yet I still (occasionally) go outside!!

Any way, 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, volunteering at a [computer recycling centre](https://www.theworkingcentre.org/projects/computer-recycling/), and trying to teach myself a few things.

I think graphics are cool. I really like graphics. When I grow up I want to be a graphics programmer. For now I can learn how to be a game developer while playing around with graphics stuff. Here you'll find those learning projects.
|
||||
|
||||
My admiration for computer graphics and game development grew with my interests in programming and 3D animation. Throughout the years, 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)
|
||||
|
||||
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 *Godot Shader Language* in Godot. I am currently using *Godot* for my game development projects.

The phrase ***Vaxandi Forritari*** is Icelandic for ***learning programmer***. I'm still learning a lot, so I'm a *vaxandi forritari* in a way. I discovered my love for programming in highschool at the age of 16, when I was learning to use the Unity game engine. I'm familiar with the following programming languages:
|
||||
- *C#*: learnt it in 2021 for scripting in Unity
