My coding background

I have been passionate about creating computer programs since primary school, it all started with the knowledge that creating my own games isn't impossible. In roughly year 7, I started making basic games with "scratch", all of which are sadly lost to time at this point.

Once I got to high school I found the drag-and-drop approach to "GameMaker 8.1" and created a very basic game "Virus Attack". It wasn't until I discovered "GameMaker: Studio" that I coded for the first time, my first games can still be found on my GameJolt account, "Necrophobia" being the game I worked the most on (looking back at it, it's embarrassing). After creating some basic games in the Gamemaker native "GML" I started to develop websites, very primitive but websites no less.

My first real project was for the high school I went to, Motueka High, my assessment was to create a website, advertising the sports day coming up. For a first website it was ok but I could improve. I practised making websites through highschool, and I'm still learning today.

Where I hope to go

I find great interest in developing websites, unfortuantely, I am not very good at designing them. This is of course a learning process and as I continue to code and develop more websites, I will get a better grip on how I should design them. Once I am confident in my design skills, I aim to pursue web development further and make a career out of it.
