  "account": "I recently made my first introduction post on dev.to, which led me to realize that I had never authored an \"about me\" post on this platform before. Here I am, sharing a bit about myself. The repository I'm proudest of is Karui, and I take credit for its development. Its purpose is twofold: to create a simplified Google Tasks clone with a retro Linux-inspired look and to ensure it's privacy-friendly, open-source, and easily modifiable by anyone. My core focus revolves around crafting educational tools for areas with limited bandwidth. Being familiar with poor internet connections, I aspire to one day improve government web services that our citizens depend on. My journey began with educational text-based games like Twine, Ink, and Inform, which mirrored my interest in modeling reality and historical communications. I later participated in game jams, such as IFCOMP, SpringThing, and LDJAM, almost every year. In addition to programming, I've explored various web development technologies, including PHP plugins for WordPress and Jekyll blogs. Since 2020, I've been focusing on learning JavaScript through platforms like Processing, P5.js, SoloLearn, and FreeCodeCamp, earning front-end certificates along the way. In 2023, I dabbled in game engines, editing demos while learning new programming languages. In 2025, I successfully launched Karui, Shintaku, and several Android apps, diving deep into frontend frameworks like Svelte, Alpine.js, Preact, and Vue. I also grew fond of the Allman style of braces. Feel free to check out my GitHub profile to see my latest projects.",
