About Me

Personal Life

Born and raised in Sherwood Park, Alberta and at just 20 years old, I'm working to make something of myself. I've always had a drive to do something. I'm huge into music, video games, and technology in general. I have a mentality of "Just do it" to push myself further. I love camping and nature, love going on walks and like to try new things.

Early Development

I have been exposed to technology my entire life, and have always remained curious. When I was 13, I developed my first game using Unity Engine. Going into junior high and high school, I took every technical course I could. I learned the Adobe Suite of products and the basics of many coding languages such as C, C# and Python.

Advancing Career

After high school, I decided to return to game development. I started work on an arena shooter game for over a year as a passion project. I learned much about C# and the Unity Engine, but put the project on hiatus due to post-secondary school. I then started school at NAIT in the DMIT Web Design and Development course. I wanted to continue the idea of creative works, but with more practical applications.

Modern Day

I believe I have found my passion in web design. My attention to detail, love for design challenges and willingless to learn have made me excel in this field. Nearing the end of my post-secondary era, I am working on side projects, such as Eldritch Spellbook and a puzzle game site while I look for career opportunities.
