About me
Hi. I’m Isaac, a 21-year-old student & developer from England. I write code, think about code, procrastinate (a lot), and occasionally do photography. I like making things, both physically and digitally. I find science interesting, but also sometimes incredibly boring.
I started messing with code a little in 2016, starting with very basic Node.JS and some basic HTML & CSS only web pages. I have been writing more code every year since, as my GitHub profile shows.
I first tried photography in 2017 and I have been doing a little bit each year, mostly on holidays or day trips to interesting places.
eartharoid
I'm also known as "eartharoid" and "earth". I created the name "eartharoid" in early 2016 whilst thinking of a username for my Steam account. I like space stuff, Earth is my favourite planet, and I smashed an incorrect spelling of asteroid on the end.
Résumé
This isn’t a full résumé but I needed a heading for this section.
Software
I have worked on many projects. For my major projects, click the button below.
My skills
It seems popular to have a list of icons/logos to represent “skills”, so here’s mine:
Programming languages
A lot of portfolio sites have progress bars or numbers representing ability to use the language or tool. I think it’s dumb but I made up some numbers anyway.
Node.JS
70%
HTML & CSS
60%
JavaScript
50%
TypeScript
20%
Java
5%
Go
0.1%

Photography
Honestly, I’m not very good at photography. I don’t do it very often but I enjoy it. I like doing landscape and wildlife photography the most.
