About me

I'm a student and self-taught web developer, specializing in backend web and API development using Python.

Projects

I've worked on quite a few projects since I began programming, most (but not all) of which have been personal projects. Here's a few of my projects that I'm most proud of.

The Spaceflight Simulator banner, a cartoon-style rocket taking off above the Earth

Spaceflight Simulator (Sharing)

Spaceflight Simulator is a popular mobile and PC game that allows users to create and launch their own rocket ships. I helped to co-create the game's sharing system, which allows users to quickly and easily share their creations with others.
