About

Hi, I'm James!

I've been working as a backend dev for about 6 years, but lately I've been getting really into graphics programming because I love being able to see the stuff I make.

That's mostly what this blog is about. Graphics stuff like shader breakdowns and rendering techniques, some MMO architecture (mostly thanks to FFXIV), studying Japanese, a bit of web dev, and honestly whatever else I'm into that week.

The long-term goal is to be hireable as a graphics engineer in Japan. That's a lot of things stacked on top of each other, so it's probably going to take a while. This blog is mostly just me showing my work along the way.

Go easy on me, I'm still learning a lot of this stuff!
