hey, thanks for visiting my website! i'm Mart, a 15-year-old high-schooler from The Netherlands. i absolutely LOVE coding – that is, at times. i code on and off, but i also love learning languages. i'm trying to be more consistent with coding, though, so i can build some big projects and stuff i'm passionate about and can show off.
i enjoyed computers and tech ever since i was a little kid. like most kids, i started off with playing some flash games and watching youtube, but soon i fixed the computer problems of my classmates and family. this wouldn't go unnoticed by my grandpa, who worked at some big software companies like AT&T when he was younger and he showed me Scratch. i liked it a lot and started making my own projects when i was seven.

later, i learned some other programming languages like python, javascript and html/css. i made a few webpages and games with it, but mostly from tutorials and changing little things.
even later, i made a few websites for people, but these were made using wordpress. i also helped coding a bit with a discord bot and a game, which is how i rolled into coding actual projects instead of just tinkering around, which i did before when i mastered a language a bit. this was also the point where i learned git and github.
finally, i got an e-mail from Hack Club after signing up for GitHub Education to get some perks. first i thought it was only for very experienced coders and i was busy as well. luckily, i starred the email and later i had a friend who wanted a Thinkpad and remembered the email, which had a Thinkpad mention.

the program (Arcade) didn't run anymore, but luckily there was another program in the winter! i signed up for that. the idea was that you would code projects (creative ones) and get prizes for them. this was when i started shipping scrappy projects and got the revelation that you don't have to code the next Google in order for your coding to be of importance.

the rest? the rest is history.

wow thanks for reading all of this! i think my projects are even more interesting to see :) view them here!

i write about some stupid stuff that interests me here. view a list of articles below!

an opinionated list of some of my newer and more interesting projects. this list doesn't include even nearly everything i've made. my GitHub readme contains more projects. also check out my repositories! it won't be a pain to dig through it to find the interesting projects, because i always private irrelevant/unusable projects! aside from making big projects, i tinker around a lot with new languages and tools :)

like what you see and want to commission me? shoot me an email @ me [at] m4rt [dot] nl!
