Started in 2012 playing Pathfinder 1e and dabbling in other systems. Over the years, my repertoire has expanded, including a decent run in Shadowrun 5e, many games as a player in DnD 5e, and gamemastering first in Pathfinder and now 5e. I've moved from pen and paper to running things from a laptop, and now find my games mostly reside online through Discord, Roll20, and Foundry.
As a player, I try to make interesting characters that I'll enjoy playing, rather than focusing on purely mechanical characters. My favorite thing is when I can cooperate with a GM to better tie my character into the campaign, or vice-versa.
