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.

I managed to get my hands on an old Nikon D70s camera, so I'll try to learn photography from that.

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

I am currently trying to focus on using Unity.

This is in no way all of my favourite artists, there are too many to list. These are just the ones I really enjoy and don't mind sharing:
- *Molchat Doma*
- *LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER*
- *FIBEL*: I really like their songs Winter and Unique.
- *HARBOUR*
- *Provinz*: I just listened to them a lot when I was learning German.
