About me
I started with studying biology after finishing high school, though after a few years I recognized that it wasn’t what I wanted for the rest of my life. At the recommendation of my brother, I switched to studying video game development and finished my bachelor’s in 2020. I then decided to take on a master’s degree in The Programming of Interactive Technologies through a scholarship which I then finished in 2022. I loved what I learned about video game development, working with 3D modeling, animation, and working with Unreal Engine to fully development game prototypes, though when I started fully coding in C++ and working with HTML and CSS, I knew I wanted to keep learning about software engineering. I’m currently looking to begin working in the industry as a full-stack developer, in the meantime I usually find myself furthering my coding knowledge taking online courses or working on my personal project of developing a fitness app.
