Hey!

I'm Ned Loynd, also known as NeRdTheNed / NedTheNeRd / NeRd (it's really hard to get that username!) on most platforms.

• I'm a fan of C and Java, which I tend to write most of my projects in.
• I also have some experience with C++, C#, Objective-C, JavaScript, and Python. I've also worked with Java bytecode for some projects.
• I generally use Gradle to build Java projects with, and CMake or Make for C projects.
• I mostly use macOS as my operating system, and have a fair amount of experience in adapting projects to its quirks.
• I once aspired to write a full game engine in batch, although I tend to use bash for scripting now.
