Hey.

I'm Qwarq, a human person on the internet.

I'm a game developer with education and professional background in computers and software development, but I'm also interested in digital art. I stream on twitch occasionally too.

I'm also proudly asexual, non-binary and aromantic.

I graduated from university with a degree in computer science and worked for 15 years as a software engineer. As of May 2026, however, I'm trying to make a living as an independent creator after I was pushed out of my job by generative AI.

I've been playing video games since I was 2 years old and they've been a big part of my life ever since. They're a big reason for my interest in computers and my choice of career. I've been interested in developing games for over 15 years now, and I've actually made a few myself (wow!). I even have my own game development company, though it's a entirely a 1-person operation. More on that here.

If you're interested in helping me keep the lights on and supporting my game development, coding, art and streaming, the best way is to join my patreon, but you can also buy my games, commission art from me, or subscribe to my twitch channel.

I'm a very introverted, shy and socially anxious person, but somehow, against all sense, I started streaming on twitch a few years ago. I'm hesitant to use the term vtuber since I don't interact with streaming in the same way as many vtubers, but I do use an avatar (a live2d avatar that I drew myself!). That avatar is what this site is themed around, actually.

The character's name is Tau Qwarq and he's a fox boy roboticist that lives on a distant moon in the far future. There's more about him here. Tau has become my online persona, so I'll often refer to him as myself, or just "Qwarq". If I'm refering only to the character, I'll typically say "Tau". I stream on twitch at least once per week (mostly often Sundays at 9 eastern). I'm usually playing video games, but on rare occasions I'll draw or do some game dev. You can find the stream over here.

My favorite types of games usually involve puzzles, exploration or deep stories. Here are my top 25 games (in no particular order after the first 5), since I think that says a lot about the type of person I am:

A more recent interest is digital art. I had enjoyed doing silly image manipulation since high school, but around 2017 that interest morphed into a casual hobby of drawing. I still consider myself a beginner, but multiple people have sought me out to give me money to draw things for them, so I guess I must be doing something right. You can find links to some of my work here.
