About Me
When I was young, I was very interested in different types of play, Board games, party games, etc. The one that attracted me the most was video games. Then I got a bachelor's degree in Computer science and Technology at university. Not only did this give me the ability to write code, but it also gave me the ability to analyze a game at a logical level. Then I went to the Abertay University to study MProf Games Development. At school and at work, I was mainly involved in game design, including systems, narrative, levels and numerical. I hope to get involved in more game design work in the future and try to communicate my ideas with more unique game mechanics.
