About Me
Outside of the San Jose Convention Center
I am currently a student at the University of Advancing Technology in Tempe, AZ, pursuing a degree in Game Programming. I have been teaching myself to program games as a hobby since I was thirteen years old, and have enjoyed every step of it – nothing provides the levels of challenge and reward that I’ve found in programming games. Having just completed a five-year contract with the United States Marine Corps as a Data Systems Specialist, I have moved to Tempe to pursue the final years of my degree on-campus.
In my personal development time, I have been focusing recent efforts on learning cross-platform graphics programming with OpenGL and OpenGL ES, and the challenge it provides is giving me a much-needed boost in excitement with new APIs and concepts that I haven’t touched as much using libraries that hide everything.
