{% capture content %}Hey, I’m the guy referred to as “Xaymar” – also known by the real name Michael Fabian Dirks. I’ve been enjoying software development for a long time now, it’s both my hobby and my job, and i love it. I’m probably a great example when it comes to “Love your job and you’ll never work a day in your life”, because so far it has only felt like work once.{% endcapture %}{% include blocks/paragraph.liquid content=content %}

{% capture content %}I love playing and making games, listening to music, reading comics and books, and obviously also love programming. My favourite music genres include Drum & Bass and Psytrance, while my favourite games (so far) are Stardew Valley, Factorio, Risk of Rain, and Cave Story+.{% endcapture %}{% include blocks/paragraph.liquid content=content %}

{% capture content %}Anyway, that’s pretty much it. There isn’t much to me – I’m just another human, with different interests and different skills.{% endcapture %}{% include blocks/paragraph.liquid content=content %}
