Hi, I’m Sam — a hobbyist Windows developer who loves building useful tools, exploring the Windows API, and solving problems for fun.

Here you’ll find the projects I’ve been tinkering with, a few experiments, and the occasional programming rabbit hole.

About Me

I’ve been programming since 1999 and fell in love with VB.NET back in the early 2000s. These days, I mostly build Windows tools with VB.NET and enjoy diving deep into the Windows API.

P/Invoke, memory management, and low-level Windows stuff? Yes please.

When I’m not coding, I’m probably gaming, listening to music, or tinkering with something that will either make my life easier or become completely unnecessary.
