About Me

Beyond code and game development, I'm a creative person at heart who loves learning and trying new things.

I started making games when I was 15. It all started in a computer science class when I made my first game, Survive "Survival". Since then, my passion for creating games has grown into a true calling. There's no greater feeling than seeing people play and enjoy the games I make.

Hobbies & Interests

Gaming

Gaming put me on the path to game development. While I don't play as much as I did when I was younger, it's still something I enjoy from time to time.

Mountain Biking

Biking is my favourite form of transportation, and I've always wanted to try the more 'fun' side of it for exercise.

Hiking

I love walking, and exploring nature on foot is one of my favourite things to do. Bonus points if the trail isn't well marked—the sense of freedom and challenge is fantastic.

Rock Climbing

Rock climbing is one of my favourite sports. I haven't done it a lot, but when I climb, I have the time of my life.
