About me

I'm a CPAC (Computer Programming and Analysis Co-op) graduate currently enrolled in the BSD (Bachelor of Software Development) degree program at Seneca College. I worked for over a year on the c3dl project before going back to classes to get my degree.

I plan to enroll in a masters program (Computer Games Technology) at Algoma University once I complete my Bachelor’s here at Seneca.

I am a pesco-vegetarian and aspiring vegan.

You can find me on moznet in channels such as #c3dl, #seneca, #processing, #gfx, #svg, #planning and sometimes #bs.
