ABOUT ME
I am a self motivated person who enjoys taking on new challenges. I jot down ideas frequently and have kept a sketchbook with me since childhood. I was an aspiring artist until I discovered game programming in High school. Through the medium of games I have learned to make 2d and 3d graphics, compose music, program, and plan out projects. Now I am focusing solely on programming.
