COVER
Raised in a family consisting of 4 boys I have been instilled with a hard-working competitive mindset, Which has allowed me to flourish into a high-achieving and successful individual. This philosophy is prevalent in all aspects of my life including work. My love and admiration for games began at a young age when I was presented with my first console, The Nintendo 64. I was introduced to some of the most influential games in the industry. I have fond memories of being transported into the remarkable world of Zelda and playing Mario Party with my brothers. It's such a unique and beautiful experience unmatched by any other medium. At a young age, I was determined to evolve my love for games into a career enrolling and purchasing online classes teaching me the fundamentals of game development, my inquisition and desire for knowledge allows me to grow my ability at a fast rate. The Past 3 years on the games design and production course have resulted in me developing and publishing 3 major projects along with many tech demos featuring experimental mechanics, which can all be viewed in my portfolio.
