Hi, my name is Elijah. I'm a student of software engineering in the Netherlands.
My interests lie mostly in everything embedded or wherever I can program low level, although I enjoy some casual Python scripting. My specialty is in C, but I can work work with some managed languages: C#, Python, Java. I can work in C++, although I don't quite enjoy the experience.
I made this website as a way for me to document my projects. I explain it in my first project (ecgc). Basically, I've always wanted an excuse to make a website. The idea is to post regularly here to share my development struggles. I think it will be an interesting experiment for me and if anyone stumbles on this website and likes to read what I have to say, even better. I also plan to use it as a portfolio when looking for a job, so here's hoping it does anything.
My current learning endeavors are focussed on (C)GB assembly and Rust. I'm still fascinated by assembly code every day and had the luck to stumble on the reference for the Gameboy system, so I really had no choice but to go ahead and prototype some stuff. I'm interested in learning Rust, since it appears to be a language where I can more easily do complex stuff in compared to C and it seems like a better alternative than C++.
I'm still new to working on Github, but I'm down to help a project if I can benefit from it. I use open source software every day, so I would like to give back to the community if I can.
