Hello World!
My name is Michael, otherwise known online as Alkaline Thunder. I write code because it’s fun.

My name’s Michael, but you probably already knew that. I am a visually impaired game developer and a strong advocate for software accessibility. Although I’ve worked on many projects, I’m most well-known for my work on Trixel Creative’s up-coming 2.5D UGC platformer, Restitched. If you’re reading this, you’ve found my personal website and blog where I write about things and stuff.

Restitching Jetbrains Rider’s Accessibility: The “Read Aloud Selected Text” Plugin
I love writing code. I’ve been doing it since I was a little kid and it’s perhaps my strongest talent. Unfortunately, I’m blind, and writing code involves being able to read it as well. This is how I solved that problem and effectively restitched my ability to do what I do best.
