Hey there, thanks for dropping by my website! I'm ChaosIris, an aspiring computer science major based in the UK, with my graduation slated to be in the summer of 2025.

My coding journey began back in 2011 when I first had my interest piqued by Flash games and animations on sites like Newgrounds and Miniclip (only real OGs remember).

Sure enough, as a kid with zero responsibilities and tons of free time, I managed to beat most of the games I found interesting and was no longer content with being just a player.

Eventually, I started thinking, rather than sitting around waiting for new game releases, why not just become the game developer myself?

And thus began the creation of my very first 2D sidescroller in Adobe Macromedia Flash, which kickstarted my entire journey into the world of software and game development ever since.

Following Minecraft's meteoric rise to popularity in 2013, I hopped on the hype train and quickly became enamored by this Java-based game, especially with its multiplayer servers where you could add just about any custom feature that you want to the game - as long as you're able to code it out in Java.

Wanting to implement my own gameplay mechanics to Minecraft, I started self-learning the Java programming language and ultimately managed to develop small-scale Java applications (dubbed "plugins"), which opened endless possibilities for adding unique features to the game.

Finally, I founded a Minecraft multiplayer server with a group of friends in 2017, in which I spearheaded the plugin development team. This server remains my most successful personal project to date and has managed to amass over 10,000 sign-ups, which is quite impressive as we started out from essentially nothing.

I have gained significant insights and knowledge from this invaluable experience, in particular the importance of good leadership, collaborative programming, and cybersecurity (which we learned the hard way after suffering numerous DDoS attacks).

In my spare time, you would catch me either reading, playing the piano, or hitting the gym. During the holidays, I enjoy travelling the world with my loved ones and document my memories with a camera.

Thank you for taking the time to read through this. I recognize that there is still much for me to learn, and I'm always open to collaborating with fellow professionals and exploring new opportunities. If you have any ideas or projects in mind, please don't hesitate to reach out to me through my contact page or on social media. Cheers and best regards!
