Nathaniel Ferandez

In 2017, while studying mechanical engineering, I was fascinated by video games and the logic behind them. Inspired, I dove into game development with Unreal and Unity.

That spark grew into a passion for solving problems through code — today, I've shifted my focus to building clean, web-based solutions.

When I'm not at the computer, I'm usually woodworking, building Gunpla models, gardening, or going out with my dogs.
