I got into game development when I was around 12 years old. Of course, it started off with Neopets... I would always play with my twin sister and we had a lot of roleplaying characters so even though it wasn't allowed, we had like 10 accounts each But I wish there were certain features available on Neopets so then I wanted to create a similar site with all the features we wanted. However, it broke off to be way more than that.
Now 10+ years later, I'm developing something totally different inspired from all the games I have played in the past and with my husband. And from being on the computer developing the same project over and over again, I learned a lot of new technologies. I kept scrapping so many projects since I learned new technologies such as CodeIgniter and then I went into Laravel. It just kept expanding so now I finally stuck with the technologies I want to use and have been developing the project for a good few months now. However, what was a hobby also turned into a professional career for me I am now working at J.M. Smuckers full-time and hope to continue on my project during my maternity leave.
