About Me

My name is Zac O'Connell, better known as TheXnator online, and I am a software engineer - primarily working with Lua, JavaScript and Java.

I've been programming since 2015 when I started writing mods for Minecraft using Java, and have since picked up a range of languages including C#, SQL, PHP and Python.

Professionally, I began my career as a self-employed developer, creating and selling addons for Garry's Mod on Gmodstore, starting in 2019.

Since September 2025 I have worked as a Software Engineer on z/OS Connect for IBM UK, where I previously completed a placement year (July 2023 - September 2024) as part of my degree.

I am a developer for Space Turtles, a FiveM community. I also currently develop and sell FiveM scripts at CodeArc, primarily using Lua, with JavaScript, HTML and CSS for ingame user interfaces.

I have previously worked with GLua for Gmod development as a Content Creator at Gmodstore. I am also a Former Owner and Developer of ZARP Gaming (2017-2022).

Examples of some of my work and projects can be found on the projects page.
