⛺ About the Adventurer
Well met, traveler. I go by IT_Watermelon — a developer who treats every project like a campaign: scout the problem, gear up with the right tools, and don't leave the dungeon until the build is green.
I like systems you can poke at — games, tools, and web things that respond when you touch them. Lately that has meant a personal finance app, a roguelike poker deckbuilder, and two field manuals on building real software with AI. This camp is my portfolio: wander around, open a few things, and see what I've been up to.
Currently questing solo. Open to parties (collaboration) and guild contracts (work).
