ABOUT ME
I'm a fairly chill guy who just likes to play and analyze video games. I occupy myself with that to learn and improve to one day create a few games I always wanted to make. Here's hoping...!
Besides the obvious, I enjoy company and can adapt quickly both in casual and professional environments.
Friends and contacts from studies tend to tell me I'm awesome, and that I do awesome things.
Fun fact: Some of the interesting projects I have been cooking up in the past few years, I sometimes ask myself "how did I do that"?
To relax, I like to go on trips, compose and listen to music and watch movies.
​
To be perfectly honest though, I just want to make cool games and art!
