    Building smalll games for the Windows Phone platform. Currently my game 'RetroSnake' is being downloaded at least fifty times per day around the world. Sadly that counts for the free version, not the paid version. :-) My most interesting project at the moment is a Connect-4 player that uses Machine Learning to beat me in the not too distant future. I'll use a mix of C#, MonoGame, Python and TensorFlow to achieve this goal.
