It now houses a bunch of info on my + various different interests. +

Web Development

+

+ I've been a professional web developer since 2011. But that is not + where my journey started. In highschool, back in the geocities days, I + built websites for guilds I was a part of in video games. It was great + because I felt like I was helping a lot of people in more ways than one. + I didn't know at the time that I would end up doing this as a + career. +

+

+ Since then, I've worked on a variety of projects. I've worked + in the flower delivery industry, the paycheck app industry, and even the + music industry. I've also used the skills I learned to create my + own projects. I've been lucky in the fact that javascript has + become more and more versatile over the years. +

+ +

Streaming

+

+ Back in 2016, I started streaming on a website called Beam.pro. I was + enthralled by the amount of tools that they gave to developers to build + interaction games and resources for viewers. I built a bot called + Firebot, which is still available to this day. In doing this, I helped + Beam test their platform and grow their community. I was even featured + on their front page a few times. At one point, I even got a site wide + shoutout popup for my birthday. +

+

+ Before long, Microsoft bought out Beam and it became Mixer. I kept + streaming here, even going so far as being partnered. But, the platform + began to change as Microsoft sought growth and profit. Before long they + were spending million on exclusive streaming rights for big names on + twitch. Eventually, the service bottomed out and shut down.

- What are some of the interests? Web development, streaming, video games, - boardgames, vinyls, tabletop games and more. I'll admit, a majority - of it will probably be video game related. + At this point I went over to Twitch and began streaming. I'm still + there to this day, though I've backed off from full time streaming + and only stream when I can for fun.
