About Me

Hello, I’m Chaplin (aka Wolfborg), a Boston-based programmer and anime journalist.

When it comes to coding, I mostly work with PHP and Python to build websites and various automated tools. You can find a brief preview of my professional work experience with that below. I’ve also had a history in game development for various projects, which you can read about somewhere on this site.

Anime is also something I’m really passionate about. Since 2019 I’ve been running an anime website called Jotaku Network where we post news, reviews, interviews, and more. That’s content from me and a team of freelance writers I work with. I also make videos talking about anime and manga on my YouTube channel. Each season I watch at least the first episode of every new anime and try to keep up to date with the community. And of course I’m also learning Japanese.

I’m active on Twitter and Discord these days if you want to reach out to me.
