TODO Name

Full-stack Roblox developer

Luau on the client and server. TypeScript, Python, and Node.js on the web. Summer 2027 Software Engineer Intern candidate.

About

Bio

Software engineer and Computer Science student who has shipped Roblox experiences since 2017, with 54K+ visits combined. I build combat and physics systems, server-authoritative movement, and multiplayer duels in Luau, and I have run my own studios (Bards Playground, Cow Horse Studios, Parasol Co.) as well as developed for XII STUDIO and Type Ashura.

Hireability

Open to Summer 2027 Software Engineer Internships. I own features end to end, from coding and testing to deploying to production, and use agentic coding tools and LLMs in my workflow. Interested in Engine, Infra, and Economy teams.

local MAX_RETRIES = 5

local function loadProfile(userId: number, jobId: string): { [string]: any }?
	for attempt = 1, MAX_RETRIES do
		local ok, result = pcall(function()
			return store:UpdateAsync(tostring(userId), function(data)
				data = data or { coins = 0, inventory = {} }
				-- Refuse if another live server still holds the lock
				if data.lock and data.lock.jobId ~= jobId
