LTO != PGO
Ballooning your build times for fun and profit.
Veronica Drysdale
I want to tell stories. Sort of.
It's probably more accurate to say I want to help tell stories. That I want to help tell them in ways they haven't been told before. That I want to apply my technical knowledge in service of something creative. So I got into game development.
With four years in the industry split across programming and design, I care about code as a means and an end. It's not just solving problems and pushing commits, it's a way - my way - of making art. Well-rounded, I'm a hands-on developer with a highly mathematical background. Acutely interested in all things procedural. Always up for a challenge.
I'm currently open to work as a freelancer. You can check out my past projects, personal and professional, below.
