 ### Big Nerd, GameDev, Writing unhealthy amounts of C
 
-I'm terrible at writing 'about me' sections, you'll find a bit of information about my personal projects on this site but you're probably better off heading to my [github](https://github.com/MatthewOwens) or [linkedin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-owens-b86570153/).
+I use computers a hell of a lot, and would much prefer if I had control over
+what my computer's doing. This has led me down the linux rabbit-hole, and I now
+much prefer it to whatever's going on above ground.
+
+I like making games, with far too large a scope. As a result, I am currently
+building out my own engine in C after escaping C++. Some of my earlier
+[projects](https://owens.tech/projects) have been more immediately impressive
+(i.e. playable), but I just grew to really dislike working in C++ and with other
+people's libraries. I also really enjoy the fact that if I'm working with
+straight c, and something *breaks* - it's going to be my fault.
+That being said, I think I'll rely on OpenGL for graphics rendering. I'm not
+quite that masochistic.
+
+In terms of boring computing, I reluctantly work with AWS for my job and have a
+certification that you can see on
+[linkedin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-owens-b86570153/) if that's your
+cup of tea.
