Biography

My name is Steven Gan. I graduated from LaSalle College Vancouver with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Game Programming. When I was a child, I started playing games on the Nintendo Famicom and on PC. I was impressed by different interesting game designs and mechanics, which made me curious about how games were created. In high school, I learned some basic algorithm and programming skills in AP computer science class and I decided to be a programmer in the future. After watching High Score, a documentary about game history and development produced by Netflix, I decided to focus on game development as my career. Hence, I chose LaSalle College Vancouver’s Bachelor’s in Game Programming degree. During my studies, I learned about game engine architecture and created my own custom engine, Hive, with DirectX11 and C++. I also gained experience coordinating with other programmers to develop a 2D top-down tower defense shooter named Tyrant. With these experiences and knowledge, I feel ready to pursue my career as a gameplay programmer.
