Presentation:

I've been a gamer ever since I can remember, and I've also had a huge interest for computers for a long time. In my early teens I discovered the possibility of programming and with that my way into game development. Now I study game programming at PlaygroundSquad and hope to be part of great game productions in the future. I aim at creating innovative and interactive gameplay rather than monster graphics!
