My name is Surya, known online as Gears. I'm an amateur software developer, investigating functional programming, compilers and Minecraft datapacks.
I am currently part of the core team developing the Gleam programming language.
I also have a YouTube channel, where I you can watch my old videos on Minecraft datapacks, as well as videos covering changes to Gleam.

If you like what I do and want to support my work, you can sponsor me on GitHub.
