Mostly in Lua.Performing Low-Risk Code Auditing most of the day, when I'm not interpreting an already-existing massive Lua project so I can fix bugs and add or remove features, components, and such, I look for redundancies, unused assets, or other sloppy or otherwise confusing code to simplify or remove from the project entirely.Sometimes I'll use MO Excel and another, more Math-centric, Software to perform basic Combinatorics and produce reports and analyses for my Boss.
