About

About me

I'm Shawn aka MrShawn. I'm a professional software engineer primarily doing backend Java and Kotlin development. I also do full-stack work with React, and I have several years of AWS experience.

I started my coding journey making plugins for Minecraft. After working hard to improve for years, I turned my hobby into a career.

I still work on Minecraft-related side-projects and maintain my public projects. Pokeblocks, my first mod, has gained rapid popularity and achieved over ten million downloads.
