Mason Amadeus

A friend described me as an "All-Terrain Professional Bodge Technician", and I haven't found a more apt self-descriptor since.

I have worked professionally as a radio personality, audio engineer, FM broadcast engineer, IT manager, 3D artist/animator, sound designer, and podcaster. I've won "Best Individual Commercial" at the NHAB awards twice for radio commercials that I have written, voiced, and produced. I'm a hobbyist programmer, most familiar with JS, Lua, and C#.

I can figure out anything you put in front of me (except knitting for some reason), and nothing makes me happier than sharing what I've learned with others.

I want to make the world a more curious, fun, hilarious, and welcoming place. I don't like pretense, or taking myself too seriously. Let's be friends and make something cool together.
