Profile

I enjoy problem solving, especially the problems than need a very accurate solution, where every small detail matters. I started my career in Visual Effects, where I performed “matchmove” work, where it requires a skilled eye for detail. Although I enjoyed the challenging problems this role, I began to desire to achieve my childhood dreams of programming. I have been taking it upon myself to learn as many areas of development as I can, so I can start properly pursuing this path. Work Experience
