I'm Lambda (or Lyrian, or Lysander, or ...). The GBA and DS were my childhood (I still have my cyan GBA SP from when I was 7!), and around 15 years old I began teaching myself programming. Mostly just following whatever semi-obscure hyperfixations I happened to fall into, and picking up a few interesting languages on the way. Start of 2021 I got myself a flashcard and found my way into the gbadev discord, though truth be told it's been so long I don't remember how it happened, haha ^^

I ended up taking a deep dive into the hardware, as well as how every part of the toolchain worked, and generally have a big fascination for everything low-level and tooling-related. Around August 2021 I started libseven, my personal labour of love and attempt at building a really solid foundational library for GBA development. Since then, much has happened in my life, but I'm still working quite feverishly at it, now in the form of sdk-seven. In general, I've made all sorts of efforts to make GBA development more accessible to new people, because it really is such an important little machine to me. In the future, I plan to expand into the DS homebrew world as well!

I also hang out in the discord a bunch, helping people troubleshoot, answering questions and generally discussing all sorts of things. Among other things, I also helped to set up this very forum!
