===About Me===

I'm a third-year transfer IGM/New Media student, which essentially makes me the world's oldest freshman at 21. After graduating I hope to work in the game development field and eventually become a Game Designer at a major studio. It's been a long winding road for me to get here to RIT: I spent four years at my local two-year community college on Long Island in order to earn enough credits to transfer here with an Associate's in Computer Art- without breaking the bank to do so.

So yeah, I've been pretty bored with Long Island's lack of game design-related activities, and I'm looking forward to finally getting some experience in a role similar to what I can expect to see someday as a full-fledged Game Designer- and I love having the chance to be a part of something with such noble intentions like the OLPC project, and being able to actually make a tangible difference here. I've got some experience and abilities I can bring to the table aside from just straight-up programming (which I'm only barely proficient at); I guess I'm what you might call an 'ideas man', so hopefully I'll find enough ways to be useful on this project.
