Hello, I'm Thomas!

πŸ‘‹

Software developer, mistake maker, and eternal learner πŸ’‘

πŸš€ My Journey

I've always been fascinated by how things work, whether it's programming, networking, or even reverse-engineering systems. What started with simple C# scripts turned into a passion for building tools, experimenting with networking, and even creating my own programming language. From VRChat integrations to custom DNS servers, every project I take on teaches me something new. Mistakes are just part of the processβ€”each one pushes me to refine, optimize, and explore new ideas.

πŸ’­ Philosophy

I believe that technology should be both powerful and playful. Whether I'm designing an IDE, a multiplayer game, or a cloud file system, I strive for clean, efficient, and scalable solutions. My mindset? "Fail fast, learn faster." Every misstep is a lesson, and I embrace them as stepping stones toward mastery. Sharing knowledge, iterating on ideas, and constantly pushing limits is what makes this journey exciting.

Fun Facts

🐛

Favorite Bug

Once, I accidentally created a networking loop that flooded my own server with requests. It was supposed to be a simple test—now it's a cautionary tale.

🚗

When Not Coding

Tinkering with my Toyota Celica, photography in the wild, or getting lost in a good game.

🛠️

Most Satisfying Fix

Finally resolving that resource dictionary issue in SqueakIDE after it haunted me for way too long. The joy of everything finally working is unmatched.
