Wait a minute, that isn't LA in the background! Can you guess what city it is?
About Me

I'm Alinda. This is me!
Obligatory "not my cat".
His name is Morty. He doesn't like me.
Who am I?
Hello, welcome to my website! My name is Alinda! I am a software engineer living in LA.
My Background
I have always been interested in computers and video games for as long as I can remember. I grew up playing educational video games, such as Math Blasters, Super Solvers, and Reader Rabbit. I eventually got into "real" video games, with my first ones being Call of Duty 2 and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Yup, quite a stark contrast from where I started!

My first experience with programming came about when I was around 10 or 11 years old when I was obsessed with Neopets (which I still play sometimes... don't judge!) I created art, personalities, and backstories for my pets and showcased them through "pet pages", which were basically single, static webpages for our pets. Thus, a big chunk of my childhood was messing with HTML and CSS and creating "adoptables" (artwork that you can share with other people via copy-pasting of html code).

Years later, I found myself in college studying biology until one day, I took a Visual Basics class. I switched my major to Computer Science and the rest was history.
What Am I Doing These Days?
As a big fan of self-improvement and education, I spend half my free time learning random new skills and working on personal projects and the other half on playing video games. Okay, maybe video games are a little more than half. :)

I enjoy making small-scale video games, some of which can be found here. Lately, I've been taking piano and archery classes. I'm also trying to get back into cooking!

Anyway, I pay $12 / year for this site and have poured hours into it, so I appreciate your visit!
