About me
Me. I did cut the hair recently.
Hello! My name is Jace Royer, and I am currently a high school student in the St. Louis area. Computer science, and along with it, web development, has long been a passion of mine and something intend to go into in the future. A lot of it is rooted in my exposure to web-based game development where I worked with a team of developers to create Antimatter Dimensions, an incremental game. I found a lot of great people and I learned a good lot while working on that game and became an active member in that community.
I started leaning into the realm of web development (and more generally, development) in around 2018 when I was around 11 and found it to be something I really enjoyed doing. I initially attempted to create my own incremental game after discovering Antimatter Dimensions but instead focused most of my attention on the Reality Update for AD. Throughout my time working on AD I learned the big 3 for web development as well as the Vue framework.
My work on AD led me to the community where I began the ADAnswersBot project in 2021, which is a Discord bot that I run. The bot has been used several hundred thousand times by members of the Discord server across the world. Initially written in Javascript with the discord.js framework, I rewrote the bot in Typescript. I consider the bot to be one of my greatest accomplishments and am ecstatic that it has been able to impact such a wide variety of people.
I have taken various coding/CS related classes during my time in high school, which I attribute my growing desire to work in the field to. I am particularly fond of data science and analytics and would love to major in it. One of my biggest dreams is to work data analytics for a Major League Baseball team.
As for myself, sports have always been a big passion of mine. I grew up a St. Louis sports fan and eventually found my way to Seattle-area sports thanks to an excellent documentary. I am a big baseball and hockey fan, and follow the Seattle Mariners and Kraken who are my favourite teams. I enjoy travelling and love Washington and Maine.

As a young developer, one of the best things I can do is continue to develop. My passion for this and helping out the people around me runs deep, and I would love to have the opportunity to help others with their outreach. I am fairly flexible but I also am still managing a high school student's schedule, so my time is occasionally limited. I am able to create projects with a variety of tools like React+Next.js or Svelte, whichever suits your needs better. The great thing about working with an actual developer instead of a service like Wix or Squarespace is that I'm able to adjust to your specific needs and create a full and powerful website to fulfill your needs. And it won't be nearly as bland looking as this website. All you have to do is provide a place to host it. Availability and pricing are discussed on a per-project basis.
