About me
Ever since I got a GameBoy Advance as a kid, I wanted to know how the heck it's possible to write programs running on it.
Now, nearly 2 decades later, I'm working as a software engineer, writing software for the OG GameBoy on the side.
I'm overall interested in anything that makes the silicone do something.
