"Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't." - Mark Twain
Hi. I am a professional game developer known for creating
NikNak. My background is in engineering, UI/UX, and product design. I am especially good at graphics programming (3D graphics), which is a neat interdisciplinary field that combines math, art, and programming.
A bit about myself:
-
I enjoy figuring out how things work. In every system, there are knobs that you can turn, and things that happens when you turn them. I enjoy figuring out what these knobs are and turning them. Sometimes, there are second and third order effects as well.
-
I really like weird things. Often I feel like I am on auto-pilot or very sleepy. But when I experience weird things (anything that subverts expections) it snaps me out and I feel more alive. Maybe I am a bit of an adrenaline junkie.
-
I enjoy finding humor in life. To me, life feels like flipping through a deck of cards, or watching scenes from a movie, or being hit with deus ex machinas over and over again. So, it is often very funny and ironic.
I majored in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science @ MIT. Before that, I majored in Piano @ Dreyfoos School of the Arts and was a concert pianist. My WPM is over 150.
