This year I had a goal to finally complete Hacktoberfest, which is an online hackathon where you contribute to open source projects. In the beginning of October, I reached out to my various discord coding communities for some project contribution ideas and was able to complete 4 small pull requests! The simple projects I did […]
Lately I’ve been on this kick of going back to the days before social media.

I went to NY Comic Con last year which was a blast, so this year I decided to go to my […]
This weekend is the Global Game Jam at Microsoft NYC and my former colleague convinced me to join him and friends to be on a team. It’s a great way to hold myself accountable to learn game development that I’ve mentioned in a previous post. I’m really excited to see how to plan it all: […]
