Hey there! I'm MrCroco, a software engineer with over 16 years of experience building systems across web and backend platforms. I've shipped production code, debugged nightmares at 2am, and lived to tell the tale.


But the guy who got into programming to make games over 25 years ago, the one sketching level ideas in the margins of his notebook, never really left.


In 2026, I finally decided to stop waiting and start building. After years studying game engines, techniques, and everything in between, there’s no excuse left.


This is my devlog, portfolio, and lab. Follow along as I go from writing business logic to crafting boss fights.
