Hi! I'm Megan Lincicum — an engineering student at Johns Hopkins University with a passion for CS and game development.
I love creating games, coding meaningful projects, and sharing what I know — for over two years, I've taught kids block coding, JavaScript, and Unity game dev.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me writing stories, drawing comics, or otherwise bringing worlds to life. Let's talk!
