About Me

I graduated from BSc (Hons.) Computer Science at Lassonde School of Engineering at York University in Spring 2023. I currently work as the lead game programmer for Studio Cloud Grey. Alongside my journey in Computer Science, I often participate in game jams hosted by ITCH.IO using Unity as the game engine. Considering how video games have been my favorite leisure for so long, I have find myself fascinated by the mechanics involved in one. Hence, as a creative industry that brings me joy, I aspire to pursue a career in video game development.


Having studied Computer Science, I have found the crooks and riddles of computer security to be my favorite area, perhaps due to an inspiration from the god of cryptography and Artificial Intelligence Alan Turing's works.
