My love for video games began during my childhood where I played them every day after school with friends. It was in these moments where I started thinking about how they work and the various ways they can be improved, and so I decided to make my first game with the help of online videos and courses. After completing my first few games I realized how fun, exciting and challenging it was and decided to study Games Development.

I take a lot of joy in making and working on exciting and interesting projects where I get to test my abilities and problem-solving skills. I noticed that in projects that present new challenges I am able to improve and adapt the most. When confronted with difficulties, I approach them by breaking down problems step by step in order to find creative and effective solutions. Till today I have made many projects from which I learned the components involved in game development and project management.

Other than that, in my spare time I enjoy working out in the gym, taking walks in the nature and playing games or watching devlogs about the progress of indie games and developers.
