Hey, I am Etao. I am a Junior Software Engineer at Tanda, and a Computer Science student at The University of Queensland.

I initially got into programming through Minecraft, specifically the in-game commands that allow special behaviour when chained together. Seeing my idea come to life and being able to build out what’s in my head hooked me on programming.

I began sporadically experimenting with programming, just doing little bits and bobs. Building my own games and scripts. Eventually, I began studying it.

Problem solving, aura farming, and building things from nothing but an idea, is the most enjoyable part to me. And I am sure that’s a generic answer, but maybe for us it’s just that simple.

“Amor vincit omnia”, is a phrase I live by. It’s so beautifully human, and so passionately true. Without love, nothing can be done, and with it nothing is un-conquerable.
