My Background

I was born in Vancouver, Canada, and moved to the U.S. when I was just 3 years old. Growing up between two cultures, I feel a strong connection to my Filipino roots, which has shaped who I am today. The move to the U.S. introduced me to a whole new world — from exploring new sports and food to discovering television shows and technology. As a child, I spent a lot of time playing basketball, which taught me valuable lessons about teamwork and perseverance. At the same time, video games became a major part of my life. The fun and engaging gameplay, along with the captivating storylines, sparked my curiosity about how these games were made. This interests with gaming led me to pursue a degree in computer science, where I could blend my love for technology with my creative interests. Those early experiences in both sports and gaming paved the way for my passion for coding and game development, and continue to drive my ambition today.
