About
Hi, I'm John! I'm an aspiring computer scientist with a focus on game development. I grew up in New Orleans and went to school at Rhodes College in Memphis, TN for a bachelor's in computer science. Since graduating, I have taken several classes on game building as well as completed several small gaming projects! Additionally, I taught myself HTML, CSS, and javascript in order to make this website! I have a genuine passion for the technology and gaming industries and I'm looking forward to continue expanding my knowledge and experience so I can create programs and games like the ones that inspired me to pursue this path!
