Skills Resume
A short summary of the skills I've accumulated throughout my life, almost all of which are self-taught (school only confused me and made up names for things I was already doing <_< ). Much thanks for the support from online gaming communities I was active with in 2003-2007 back when the internet was much smaller. I have been programming and making games since I was 12, creating short films and composing music since I was 14, and trading stocks since I was 18. My latest projects and activities can be found at my creations page.
