¶ UW
UW's logo
UW is a member of Deprimus (number 05), and also one of the administrators of the platform, along with AndrewIGD. His main occupation is programming, which resembles both his career and his hobby. He specializes in low-level programming, more specifically reverse engineering, antimalware, binary data manipulation and compilers.
He is one of the primary driving forces behind Deprimus, due to the fact that he has created a lot of deprimuses, games, and has developed the core toolchains used by everyone. He is also the one who maintains the website and wiki.
Although he focuses on low-level development, UW is also deeply versed in other domains, such as web development, game design, artificial intelligence, system administration and hardware. Due to this, he can develop most things by himself, and he can fill in almost any role in a team (except being a leader lmao).
UW develops a lot of games, most of which are made with his framework, Tale. They are targeted towards the Deprimus members and not the general public.
While a lot of his work is private, his public work consists of open-source projects.
¶ Backstory
During middle school, UW excelled at every subject and was ranked 1st in the whole school. When high school began, his passion for programming immediately took off, such that Computer Science was his favorite subject. He scored perfect grades for 4 years straight, including the final exam.
During high school, he met Pebly and started collaborating with him. This would lead to many projects being created by them.
After enrolling in university, he would meet the rest of the Deprimus members, being introduced to them by Pebly.
Currently, he works at an undisclosed company and collaborates with multiple developers on various projects. He is the creator behind a lot of Deprimus projects (such as V1 and Tale), and Deprimus characters.
¶ Personality
UW is a perfectionist, which is one of his flaws. He has high expectations from himself, and gets annoyed when things don't turn out as hoped. This has caused him to drop many projects in the past.
Although he is good when it comes to development, his lack of social skills set him back quite a lot.
He has grapheme–color synesthesia. This means that he involuntarily associates a color with every letter, digit, and word.
"I swear, that
3looks so green to me lmao"

- he is a very big fan of STEINS;GATE and the SciAdv universe
- he hates coffee, saying "it's too bitter even with a lot of sugar"
- he likes visual novels, especially those with rich stories. He sometimes reads them in his free time, and dreams on making his own big VN in the future
