Metaparadox

Hello there! I'm Olivia Montoya (she/her pronouns), a 28-year-old former computer science major taking time off from school indefinitely for health reasons, solo hobby dev, zinester, and a graphic designer at my day job. This is giving me more time to work on old projects I had to put on the back burner, so hopefully I'll finally be able to finish one of my games! (I've started a lot...)

List of important identities: queer, bi/pan, asexual, femme, mixed Latinx, autistic, chronically ill, atheist, feminist, secular humanist, skeptic (in the sense that my philosophy is to only believe significant claims with evidence, not in the “vaccine skeptic” or right-wing a-hole sense), zinester. I love to write, program, and create art, especially when I can combine all of these into one project! I love SF/Fantasy, superheroes, LARPing, snail mail, books, cats, and being a massive nerd.
