It all started when...
I got into computing from playing Super Mario Bros on the Nintendo Entertainment System. I would love to explore and try new things as a child, and with the NES it showed me that those feeling/sensations could happen through a couple of clicks on an electronic device. In a lot of ways, it showed me how it could be even be better.

Bio:
From a young age, all I wanted is to get my hands on electronics and software, and started playing with systems to see how they work. Eventually I got into a basic programming course and it changed what I considered what was fun. Making things was fun to me, and figuring out how powerful and exciting the visual medium was. When I went to film school, I learned a lot about working together on a creative project while collaborated with a team. Also learned the art of visual language and all it's facets that make the medium so compelling. Then during the pursuit of my engineering degree, I felt like I was learning magic; the ability to do so many things with all the powerful machines that surround us everyday. The feeling a person gets, when they have an idea inside their head, become reality, and witness with their own eyes, is nothing but electric. I knew, moving forward, this is what I wanted to do everyday.
Now, with my knowledge of the visual medium, my understanding of computing, and my love of design, I can create and develop innovative solutions that captivate users while empowering them to take control of their enjoyment and creativity.
