Hi, I'm THEBIGKANNYE
I'm a 27 year old Full-Stack Software Engineer, primarily working on Roblox.As I've worked solo on several projects, I also dabble a little in all other disciplines related to game development. This has been very beneficial to my skillset, as I've acquired a very broad knowledge of the Roblox engine.I'm quick to adapt, and have an easy time getting into new codebases. I'm well-versed and familiar with most open source tools and packages favored within the Roblox ecosystem. And if I'm not, I'm sure I can understand it fast.Tooling and Package Preferences
