About
Software engineering, tooling, and community-driven projects
I'm TurtyWurty, a Software Engineering graduate from the UK who mainly works with Java and TypeScript. Most of my work sits around developer tools, web platforms, automation, and game-adjacent software.
I started programming in 2018 and have since worked across open-source projects, commercial web development, internal tooling, Discord bots, and Minecraft modding tools. Alongside university, I built and maintained projects used by real teams and wider communities.

YouTube channel
The channel covers Minecraft modding across several Forge generations, from 1.12.2 through to 1.20, alongside Fabric 1.21. The tutorial side of the channel is focused on helping people work through version-specific modding setups rather than treating every release as the same environment.
Alongside tutorials, I stream the development of Railroad and Industria every week, so the channel also acts as a public record of how those projects evolve over time.
