> intro

Hi, I'm Justin. I've been programming for over 10 years and professionally since 2022. I've built products from 0 -> 1 and have experience in a startup environment.

> what i'm currently working on

Watawae

I build lots of games and participate in game jams. I made a separate site, Watawae.com, where people can play them.

I'm working on building modernized multiplayer versions of board games like checkers, chess, backgammon, dominoes, etc.

Open Source Computer Science Degree

I believe that with AI, it's more important than ever to understand the fundamentals. I started as a self taught developer and so in order to make my expertise a little bit more formal, i've started working through the OSSU curriculum on the side.

So far, I'm enjoying nand2tetris so much that I'm going outside the scope of the class and building my own hardware emulator from scratch in C.
