About Me

Hello! I am studying Computer Science and Game Design at DigiPen Institute of Technology with an expected graduation date of April 2025. Always looking for a new outlet for my creativity, I fell in love with programming and game design during my first year at DigiPen.

I strive to work on interesting challenges and have worked both as a gameplay programmer and a tools programmer during my time at DigiPen. I hope to tackle more challenges as a technical designer in my final project at DigiPen.
