Oh, hi there!
I'm Andrew, frequently known online as @Xobyte. I'm ${AGE} and I design, develop, and script my own websites.
I'm always learning as I go and I enjoy sharing my techniques in the code I write. I have developed considerable experience in the art of front end web development, with a particularly strong strength in JavaScript. JavaScript is of course my favorite language. I am also knowledgable in node js, Google Firebase, networking & netsec, linux, limited digital art, and have been previously certified in 10 other programming languages aside from JavaScript (HTML, CSS, C++, C#, C, Java, Python, SQL, PHP, and Swift). I have several online projects you can demo on the front page (as well as many others under different aliases that you probably won't find here). I design, develop, and maintain several web projects for fun as a hobbyist, including Chattable, a web service providing free customizable, anonymous, live group chats for web developers and how-to-research.org. I've been a Neocities user since 2015 and a happy paid supporter since 2018. You might know me as Xobyte, Chattable, Winbows, Amdroid, Message, Radnom, or Xerrabyte on the platform. I'm also a growing car enthusiast. Beyond web development, I often spend my time driving/exploring in my 2018 Dodge Challenger GT, hiking in nature, playing xbox, and spending time with friends. Professionally, I work as an industrial maintenance technician in good ole' Wisconsin, USA. I find troubleshooting with my hands similarly enjoyable as troubleshooting code and turns out I'm quite good at it.
More to know...
Favorite Beverage
Beer. A wheat beer, like Blue Moon or Miller Highlife
Favorite Show
I don't watch much TV except before bed, but I often watch adult animation & animated throwbacks. Regular Show & Attack on Titan are both top level for me
Political Alignment
I don't get political. Good is good and bad is bad, everyone should have the same rights but "political correctness" has gone too far imo.
Horoscope
I was born in March 2000 which makes me a pisces, year of the (metal) dragon.
First Website
I can't remember my first, but one of my first websites was a project called Dragonbook Exploited, a website built for our school chromebooks (nicknamed dragonbooks per our mascot) that had a live chat, unblocked games, unblocked movies & shows, emulators, and more.
