Hi, my name is Isaac. I'm a somewhat functional introvert. I like to learn, program, and game.
I'm happily married to a wonderful woman. I'm also the son of a U.S. Army veteran, whom I respect and admire greatly.
I've been a computer nerd since Kindergarten. One day, we were doing word association in class. Most kids said "cat" when the teacher said "mouse." I said "computer."
Free Time
In my free time, you'll usually find me doing one of a few things:
Watching YouTube—either learning something useful or doom-scrolling brainrot.
Programming something just to learn or experiment with something new.
Playing a game... or compulsively scrolling through my library, hoping something triggers that sweet dopamine hit.
Learning
As of writing (January 2025), I'm a student at Western Governors University, working toward a BSCS.
Until I graduate, this is one of my top priorities. I started in December 2024, and as of the end of January, I’m almost done with my first term—even though it’s scheduled to run until May.
Otherwise, I’m self-teaching, researching, or experimenting with programming languages and techniques to stay versatile.
Goals
Not much, just a few totally reasonable things:
Take care of my family.
Graduate with my Bachelor's.
Become a professional developer.
Attain financial freedom.
Retire comfortably at my baseline standard of living.
Die old... or not at all.
What Else?
Stuff that didn’t fit neatly anywhere else:
I reverse-engineered Flash games as a kid, and now I build things with Unity, Godot, and whatever else looks fun.
If there's a way to automate it, I’ll probably try.
I'm good at breaking things… but also fixing them, so it balances out.
My idea of "taking a break" usually involves learning a new programming language or tech I may never actually use.
I've dabbled in everything from Windows development to web apps to hardware projects. If it involves code, I’ll probably tinker with it.
Yes, I automate things, but no, I haven’t figured out how to automate my life yet—still working on that.
