Biography

Video games have been my favourite hobby since I played my first cereal box game. Since the beginning, I have loved using computers and learning more about them. Games like Gizmos and Gadgets, an educational game from 1993, started my love for science and learning how things work. Much later, when the original Crysis game was released, I learned to love game development by using the Sandbox Editor to make my own levels with custom behaviours. But it wasn't enough. Using these amazing tools was a great introduction, but along the way, I learned about programming. It was a way to combine my interest in video games with my growing curiosity about how they work. Today, I'm learning as much as I can to feed that curiosity. I have a special interest in new and whacky ways to make something faster or more intuitive. New ways to make hard non-cheating AI for strategy games, natural simulations for more realistic environments, or innovative gameplay mechanics really excite and inspire me. As a professional, I strive to learn and do more for my teams and for myself in order to be an excellent asset to any project.
