Hello! I'm Meli (or Astie, depending on who you ask) and I design games and create websites. I do not accept long-term contracts, so please do not ask me to create one with you. If you're interested in hiring me, please contact me via Discord or X accessed by clicking into the slider menu in the top left corner. I look forward to working with you, and please feel free to scroll the page to see several milestones I have made in my time as a developer.

I started my experience with game development in 2017, when I first joined a cool game I just found out about, called "Roblox". The endless possibilities intrigued me, and my love for the games I found drove me to attempt to create one of my own. I quickly found out, however, that it was not as easy as I first thought it was. Even though my first game was never published, I still see it as extremely important, as it was my first glimpse into the wonderful world of programming and game design.

A few years later, I was asked to program a game for a few of my friends, which I reluctantly agreed to, as I did not have very much experience with programming at the time. The game development itself ended up being cancelled; however that did not stop me from learning a lot from the experience. After I accepted the work, my experience with programming only went uphill, and within the next 2 years I learned all the skills I needed to start my career.
