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. 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
- 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 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
Aspiring Graphics Programmer
My interest in graphics rose after realising that I didn't like software engineering, but instead graphics and programming.
Amateur Linguist
I'm really into languages. Since I was kid, I have loved learning about other cultures and traditions, including their languages. 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 am interested in so many languages:
- Deutsch: currently learning Hochdeutsch by myself, learning 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
- Norsk: Norwegian is interesting but I already know some Danish and I'm not sure if I want to learn Danish cloned
- 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 intention of learning Russian but a friend said I should learn Russian just to read Tolstoy's War and Peace in the original Russian
- 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 my 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
As mentioned, my interest in programming came from learning how to make a game in Unity. I still dabble around with Unity, but now I plan on working in Godot. I also had a period where I tried to work with Blender's game engine, but I didn't end up liking it (I'm not a huge fan of Python).

Music Enjoyer
I listen to a lot of music. A lot of the music I listen to are in other languages, German in particular. I hope to eventually learn how to make my own music, for both games
