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.
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 use arch btw but I'm not that lost yet I still go (occasionally) outside!!
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 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 try to use mainly free and open source softwares (FOSS) for my projects.

I speak languages. I like languages. I learn languages. Here you will find my linguistics projects.
Languages are cool. I like languages. I want to languages. Here you will find my linguistics projects.
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:
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

This is where you'll find my coding projects, tech projects, anything that's coding but not <a id="aspiring_graphics_programmer" href="/projects/aspiring_graphics_programmer/">graphics programming</a> or <a id="wannabe_game_developer" href="/projects/wannabe_game_developer/">game development</a>.

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

## Music
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*
- *FIBEL*: I really like their songs Winter and Unique.
- *HARBOUR*
- *Provinz*: I just listened to them a lot when I was learning German.
- *DOUBLECAMP*
- *Emil Kárlsen*: I really enjoyed his song Muohta and the album Nagirvárrái. His music was my introduction to the Northern Sámi language.
- *Dorian Concept*
- *tomcbumpz*
- *Pogo*
- *Home*
- *Nanook*: I really like their song Ingerlaliinnaleqaagut. It was my introduction to the Greenlandic language.
## Films and Animations
- *The Seventh Seal/Det Sjunde Inseglet* (1957, Ingmar Bergman)
- *Godland/Volaða Land* (2022, Hlynur Pálmason)
