Quick Info

Get to know me!

I am A. Formagin,

A Computer Science (Applied Computing) graduate from the University of Windsor. My interest in technology began in my early teens, sparked by a fascination with computer systems and the creative possibilities of software development. This curiosity led me to pursue Computer Science studies throughout high school, where I complemented academic coursework with hands-on experience through the Co-Op program.

At age 16, I began working as a Junior Technician with a local IT consulting firm, a role I held for over two years. This early professional experience strengthened my technical foundation and reinforced my commitment to a career in technology. I later continued my education at the University of Windsor, where I expanded my programming expertise and IT knowledge, culminating in the completion of my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (Applied Computing).

I run a homelab as a hands-on playground for learning infrastructure and systems skills outside of a classroom setting. It hosts a mix of self-hosted services and lets me experiment with networking, virtualization, containerization, and anything else I want to tinker with.

Plugin & Mod Development

Minecraft & Hytale

I enjoy developing plugins and mods for both Minecraft and Hytale. It's a creative outlet that also sharpens real programming skills — from designing APIs and event-driven systems to managing persistent data and working within an existing engine's constraints.
