I want to spend my time on earth pursuing the quest of becoming an amazing game developer (Good to note, that I am clearly on the beginning of this journey... 5 years in... -_- ) I want to share with you everything I learn, so you too can make cool games for me to play. ;) That's why I am posting on YouTube and share Open Source projects. It's also a reason why I am working at GameReady as an Education Coordinator to help nurture the next generation of Game Developers.
