I started in tech professionally in 2018 as a backend dev, but I’d been building things on computers a lot longer than that. AoE2 and Warcraft scenarios as a kid, COD2 maps a little later, then more maps in CS:S and CS:GO (and a stretch of game-related YouTube and streaming somewhere in there too). A half-finished CS degree I dropped once the day job got more interesting than the lectures.

TL:DR: I like tech, and I like building things.
