I'm a highly skilled Software Developer (C++, C#, and more) specializing in Real-Time 3D Graphics and Gameplay programming. I have experience both with Custom and established game engines such as Unity.
I have Developed numerous projects over the years, and since graduating, I have been developing a 2D game-making tool and experimenting with 3D Rendering Techniques using OpenGL and Vulkan.
I am a lover of Games, Music and Code! In my spare time, you can find me playing the guitar to my favourite songs, working on my next software/game project or playing games with my friends :)
I have a fascination with low-level programming, Game Engine & Game development and Modding as well as Software Engineering. In high school I wanted to take CompSci
however due to a full class I was placed in IT and rushed through many lessons to self-teach Python online using the computers because I was eager to learn how to code.
When I was 14 I built my first Computer, and shortly after spoiling myself with all the games I couldn't play before I found out about the wonderful world of programming and game dev through Garry's Mod and Clickteam Fusion.
I used to make simple games when I was in school with clickteam and once I knew the basics of coding I developed Simple GMOD Lua addons thanks to its wonderful integration and it wasn't long after I was hooked!
I knew that I would want to pursue it as a career, I wanted to be a Developer.
