Building close to the machine.
I'm Leo, a Rust and C++ developer drawn to native interfaces, useful little tools, and the inner workings of compiled languages.
A little more about me
01 / ABOUT ME
Curious about what happens under the hood.
I'm a Computer Programming student at Algonquin College. I gravitate toward software that feels direct: a responsive interface, a focused terminal tool, or a program whose behavior you can trace from input to output.
These days, I'm especially curious about language internals and the path from source code to a running program.

EconBot.
EconBot is a Discord economy bot built with JavaScript and discord.js, where players can take jobs, earn promotions, build passive income through homes and businesses, trade loans, and play casino games. I used SQLite to persist player profiles, inventory, property, and loan records, while Discord buttons and menus make games and shops interactive.
I made EconBot around 6 months after I began my coding journey. This lead to a lot of design choices that I would not have made today. For example, I had not yet learned about classes, so every user was simply stored in object literals. A challenge that I faced was the handling of the database that held user information. I had never used any sort of query language, so I had to learn the syntax and general ideas behind databases.
EconBot will always hold a special place in my heart due to how successful it was, providing a fun competition between me and my friends to see who could gain the most money. One day I hope to revisit the project with all that I've learned in this year and a half since making the game.

I'm seeking a co-op position where I can program applications and contribute to building useful software.
Let's talk09 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE CODE
More about me.
I wanted to create this section to tell you more about who I am. As you know, my name is Leo. I have a genuine passion for programming and I would truly be lost without it.
In addition to programming, I enjoy:
- Spending time with friends
- Coffee
- Music
- Real-Time Strategy Games
Some fun facts about me:
- I speak a tiny bit of German, and an even smaller amount of Spanish
- I was born in Vancouver, BC
- I've wanted to be a developer since I saw my uncle making video games when I was a kid
- I daily drive Linux, specifically Arch with Hyprland.
