About Altus

Altus is a full stack developer, but never intended to be one. I had your typical high school boy, nerd dream; to become a Mangaka (an anime artist). The only difference was that I was dead serious about it…

After a year of random jobs I didn’t nearly save enough to go to Japan to start my dream. I speculated and eventually figured I could simply build a website for the whole world to see my art; after all the publicity and exposure was what I really needed; I could teach myself to draw like a professional. 

Little did I know about coding at that point, and never realised what an amazing creative platform it is with endless possibilities. It quickly absorbed me and I couldn’t get enough of it. Software engineering stimulates both my creative and logical thinking.
