About

I'm a rookie: with a background in games development and webdesign...I'm an office worker by day and a cryptography-lover (albeit, a naive one), by night.

I've been programming for a good two decades and deluding myself that I understand anything, for a little longer than that.

I also have a fascination in magic and deception. Something else I sometimes fool myself into thinking I'm any good at ;)
