About Me
I consider myself to be smart, creative, and a self-motivated worker with strong interpersonal and leadership skills developed throughout my long career in retail and hospitality. Due to my strong interest and passion for technology and game development, I have been studying to direct myself towards a change of career that would hopefully lead me into developing games. I am constantly researching to expand my knowledge of programming languages, techniques, and engines, and I always approach new experiences with enthusiasm and a can-do attitude. I am looking for internships, apprenticeships, or entry-level roles in games programming that would allow me to put my knowledge into practice and finally contribute to what I am passionate about.
