About Me

Sam Faron

Hello, my name is Sam (he/him). I am currently focusing on building a portfolio for Junior Programmer roles.

I was born and raised in a small, coastal village in Ireland, and now live in Tokyo, Japan with my partner and our cat. My career background is in education and translation, but I have always wanted to become a programmer and game developer.

My earliest memories are of the joy and wonder I found in exploring fantastical worlds created in video games, and I am committed to fulfilling my dream of inspiring the same joy and wonder in others through my own creations.
