## hi

hey, i'm colleen. i'm a hobbyist-programmer from Canada. i enjoy learning about and practicing the design and programming of games, websites and web applications, APIs / libraries, and other software. i'm a strong supporter of internet privacy, open-source software, and freely accessible knowledge.

i primarily use Rust for most of my programming (C/C++ refugee), but i do use Python sometimes for prototyping. i'm also quite familiar with lua, PHP, C/C++, and HTML/CSS/JavaScript.

i'm looking forward to learning more stuff in the future!

## my work / what am i working on?

[my portfolio](/portfolio/) is a bit bare right now, but i did release a couple games, which were lots of fun to make!

right now i'm learning the [Bevy game engine](https://bevyengine.org/) and working on a couple unannounced projects.
