Cranky Tapir is a massive nerd.
I have too many interests.
Science.
I am a scientist at heart.
B.Sc. in General Science
H.Dip in Applied Microbiology
M.Sc. in Bioinformatics.
PhD in Genetics
I keep the lights on by working as a Data Engineer.
Writing
I enjoy writing fiction, short form poetry and speeches on various topics, as the mood takes me.
Fitness
I run long distances to force the goblins out of my brain. I lift heavy things and put them down again so I can carry both my kids at the same time.
Game Development
I like to make simple games and prefer to learn by doing. I take part in multiple game jams every year and currently I mostly work in Godot, but I am familiar with Unity and Twine and am capable of programming in python, c#, SQL and R (although those latter two are not generally used for video games)
Painting Miniatures
I enjoy painting miniatures from multiple companies and sculptors. I mostly use Citadel and Vallejo paints and army painter accessories and brushes. I don’t have a particular preference for any supplier (though the Vallejo paints historically taste best), I just use whatever my local game store has most of. Support your local game store!
General Nerdery
I read novels and comics, watch twitch, play video games, follow movies, and play tabletop games whenever I get the chance.
