-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, volunteering at a computer recycling centre, 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.

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 try to use mainly free and open source softwares (FOSS) for my projects. 
+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 just get things done.

+As a young child, I have 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

 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
