Hi, I'm James.I like to build cool things.
Hello, friend! I'm a passionate, introverted developer who grew up immersed in technology.
With an IT dad, I like to say I was typing before I could walk. My first major project? An "operating system"... built in Visual Basic. 😅 It was complete with a calculator, paint program, and even a web browser! Sure, it was just a fullscreen program that launched on startup, but we all start somewhere!
Video games shaped my journey, especially Minecraft. Through it, I discovered the joy of creating: building redstone circuits, developing server plugins, and crafting web integrations. My biggest plugin project (read about it here!) earned a lot of praise, showing me what truly drives me: creating things that genuinely help or delight others.
