About Me

I graduated from TUKS as a multimedia student with a passion for programming and making excellent software. I love the process of planning, designing, and implementing the systems behind what makes a product work. I'm driven by problem-solving and love a challenge.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends, either by hanging out or playing video games together. I also love making music whenever I can, which includes playing guitar and recording vocals either on my phone or computer, and I play in a worship band. I experiment with game development whenever I can, in 2023 I wanted to learn rust so I decided to build a game in Bevy for a month. I’ve entered a handful of game jams as well.
