Welcome

Hello! I'm Ale Bles, SDK Development Manager at Azerion and HTML5 game enthusiast. This little corner of the web is where I share what I'm building, what I'm writing, and the occasional side quest.

The Nokia 3310-styled Snake game up in the corner plays itself. It's a small reminder that the simplest loops can still be fun, just like the endless loop of learning and shipping software.

Poke around: projects lists what I've worked on, and the blog mirrors what I post on LinkedIn.
