# About Me

Hey there. I'm Kyle. I am %age% years old and I like to program as a hobby.
I've been programming for almost %start% years now, right at the start of Covid-19, and it was love at first sight. I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.
I originally started with the programming language C#, but since then I've spread to other languages, namely C++, Python, Java, and JavaScript.

I love software development and logical thinking. Some fields I have an interest in are (in no particular order):

- Graphical programming (not to be confused with graphic design)
- General algorithm development
- Library development
- Game development
- Server and website development

Here's how I'd rate my programming skills

Beginner

Expert

I'm definitely no expert (compared to some serious computer scientists I look up to), but I'd say I'm past the Intermediate stage. Somewhere in the middle of those two.

Here's some noteworthy stuff I've done:

- Created and maintained Nerd_STF as a solo project.
- Created Trick Or Treat, Rebuild, and some other small Itch games.
- Developing Brigade Laboratories, a game that I'm staying mostly secretive about. Learn More

I like to reinvent the wheel in software development. For example, Nerd_STF. I know there is a bunch in Nerd_STF that already exists in a different library, and it's likely better. But I feel like doing it myself teaches me more than just using somebody else's code. I wouldn't have learned nearly as much if I just used a different library.

That's all I have to say. If you want to contact me, you can at kyle@thatonenerd.net
