Hi! I'm Michael Adaixo, I'm a game programmer. This is a space where I write about game development, programming in general, computer graphics, and any other topic I deem interesting.

I once won awards for making [robot-shopping-carts follow you using a Microsoft Kinect and Motorized Wheels](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhHXldpknC4). Working on image recognition and PID controllers, among other things.
