About

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve enjoyed creating software projects. Originally, I started out writing Scratch games and basic websites, but I’ve since moved on to working on some cooler projects. One Christmas I became really interested in The Royal Game of Ur, and so I founded the largest website for playing the game online, https://royalur.net. I have also developed The Misinformation Game, a free and open-source social-media simulator for psychology research, https://misinfogame.com. Before these more successful projects, when I was a teenager, I used to pretend to be my mum so that I could do freelance programming work online (people don't like hiring 13-year-olds for some reason). It's fair to say that programming is my primary hobby, and I do it a lot. Although, basketball is fun too.
