Noah Addink
Software Development Student · Phoenix, AZ
I'm a Software Development student at Grand Canyon University, mostly drawn to backend systems and databases and appreciate the satisfaction of figuring out how things actually work under the hood though I enjoy web design too, which is what you're looking at right now. This website was supposed to be based off the aesthetic of the nintendo 3DS, but since it's not super intuitive as a webpage, this about me page is more boring. I'm also a fan of music and making graphs of information that really doesn't need to be graphed.
Outside of coursework I tinker with data visualization and a rotating cast of small gamedev projects (most of which remain proudly unfinished.) I'd rather build something interesting and abandon it than not build it at all.
This site is always a bit under construction and subject to change. Feel free to poke around the projects on the main page. I have included my resume information below as well.
