About Me

Hi — I'm Ben, a 16-year-old programmer focused on game engine development and systems languages such as C++ and Rust. I'm based in the United Kingdom and learning new techniques every day.

What I do

I build small to medium-sized projects focused on game engines, tooling and low-level systems. I enjoy working on performance-sensitive code, language design experiments, and developer tools that make iteration fast and fun.

Skills

C/C++ Rust Lua Python Git
