In summary, this website is a small project of mine which will have a bunch of random information I deem fun enough to have on here.
In the Works part of the website, I have a list of all of the projects I’ve been involved with throughout my time as a programmer. I also included my discography on that page, just for fun.
In the Posts part of the website, I’ll be writing blog posts about whatever I feel like. I wouldn’t expect posts too often, but I’ll try my best to make each one an interesting read.
If you’re interested in learning how I made this website, the Source link in the navigation bar will take you to its GitHub repository. You can also click the Discord link to join my server, Nincord. It’s probably the best way to reach me.
Introduction
A lot of people know me for my work in the video-game modding scene. In particular, I’m probably most notable for my former presense in the Nintendo Homebrew server (which I wrote a song about) or as a team member of the ForTheUsers organization.
I’ve actually always been interested in computers from a very young age. I enjoyed video-games, and just like everyone else nowadays, I rely on technology for my day-to-day duties. All in all, I’d argue that my life has always revolved around computers.
When the coronavirus pandemic hit back in 2020, like everyone else, my life was changed.
I began to pick up programming as a hobby during lockdown. I taught myself the basics of Python, and even today I’m continuing to refine those skills throughout my work.
I also became interested in tinkering with video-game consoles, primarily the Nintendo Wii U. I spent a lot of time learning how the console worked, and I would teach others online through Discord how to modify their own consoles. I used to even be a writer for the holy bible of Wii U modding, the Wii U hacking guide!
Nintendo obviously doesn’t intend for people to mod their consoles, but I only see it as an advantage to rebel against them. They don’t really listen to us anyway…
Along my journey though, I met great friends who still support me today, like GaryOderNichts, Lazr1026, and NicoAICP. I also have a Discord server filled with even more amazing people, and I’m so happy to have met each and every one of them.
Current Work
Nowadays, I don’t really involve myself in the homebrew scene as much as I used to. A lot of people know me for maintaining the Homebrew App Store still, and a few core homebrew projects, but outside of a bit of experimentation with the Wii U and Wii sometimes, that’s largely it for me anymore.
I am currently pursuing a degree in computer information systems (with a concentration of cyber security) at Central New Mexico Community College. I was actually really inspired by the homebrew scene (and especially my friend, Gary) to go this path.
On the side, I’m a meme rapper (if you couldn’t tell yet) and a school teacher, which is definitely an interesting mix of things to be. I couldn’t ask for a better life though!
