01About

Hi! My name is Jeffrey Fan, and I make apps. I started my programming journey, surprisingly, on Scratch, a block programming website, in 2018. After multiple years of game development, I migrated to Python and started using PyGame to make more games. When I encountered issues with performance and distribution, I shifted away from Python and worked on web development. And here we are!

I do more than programming though! I spend my free time doodling and drawing, and it has been over a decade of learning. You can check out some of my works in the gallery!

Here's some skills I have so far:
