I've always been intrigued by the idea of game development and video games as a whole. Ever since I was a kid I was always around video games. I grew up playing with several game consoles like the Game Boy Advanced, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 1, and the original Xbox. I spent a lot of time between all of these consoles in whatever free time I had, and time that I should have been doing homework. As I got older, I eventually got my hands on my own laptop, which was an IBM Thinkpad t42. This was my first introduction to PC games and my love only kept growing.
Fast forwarding to when I went into my undergraduate studies at Montclair State University, I decided to major in Computer Science. As I learned about software development, the idea of making a game gradually became a real possibility.
And this leads to current day. Though game development is just a hobby for me now, maybe one day I can call it my job.
