My Journey

Since 2016, I've been on a self-taught programming journey, exploring various languages and technologies. While I started with VB.NET and dabbled in JavaScript and Python, my true passion emerged when I discovered QB64 and FreeBASIC. Today, FreeBASIC is my primary programming language, though I've also ventured into C and C++ territory.

Creative Background

Before focusing entirely on programming, I spent many years as a creative writer and poet, publishing works in both Hebrew and English. My writings have appeared in books and poetry magazines. While I feel I've made my mark in creative writing, programming has become my full-time hobby.

Programming Focus

I code primarily for the joy of learning and creating. My focus is on text-based games, often incorporating sound and music. I've also developed several unique chatbots, even before the current AI chatbot revolution. While graphics might not be my strong suit, I excel at creating engaging text-based experiences.

Personal Philosophy

I'm just being myself - not a hacker or a tech industry professional, but someone who finds joy and purpose in programming. Despite facing challenges with mental health, I strive to live life to the fullest and make the most of my abilities.
