Personal Projects
Hobbyist : 2005 - Present
Over a decade ago I was interested in making video games. I took initiative and learned a language called "Blitz Basic". Since then, I have made multiple small projects. Tools, games, robotics AIs, user interfaces, collaborative projects, puzzles and brainteasers. Programming really is my favorite hobby. Check out my github to see some of my projects.

More About Steven
Other than programming, I am a maths geek, music enthusiast, gemstone cutter, and a gaming nerd. I love
calculating out numbers from every day life, odd facts about rubik's cubes and Fibonacci sequence. When it
comes to music, I enjoy playing drums, guitar, and the flute, but I also love to tinker with odd
instruments like the lyre, tin whistle, and ocarina. As for games, I enjoy almost all video games
from all styles. I can be found running Destiny raids or playing some off the wall indie game like Peglin.
I also enjoy tabletop RPGs. I love putting together D&D campaigns for my friends and family.
Friends describe me as a funny, informative, logical individual.
