About

Programmer and game developer with a good sense for deconstructing and troubleshooting problems, both programming and non. Tenacious and adaptive, especially when my goal is clear. That is what has kept me dedicated in this line of work and restless in learning new things. My love for the game inspires me to work on passion projects in both app/game development and artificial intelligence.
