BIO
My younger years were
made up of beautiful sunny days wasted by playing video games,
watching Saturday-morning cartoons while eating heaps of sugar-coated cereals (The ones that
had toys inside), and drawing treasure maps and custom Super Mario
Bros. levels all over my homework.I attended San Joaquin Delta College's Middle College High School. This allowed me to take college courses in place of my high school electives, so I was able to start taking college-level programming classes and writing simple video games while still in high school. I served as President and Vice President of Delta's Honors Society "Alpha Gamma Sigma" while working towards my Associates degree. I then transfered into UC Berkeley where I got my Bachelors degree in Computer Science. While there, I worked on robotics research and developing serious games for promoting health and fitness. At present, I am working as a programmer at WayForward Technologies where I primarily deal with artificial intelligence and gameplay programming. Professionaly, I am interested topics concerning computer science, game and interaction design, tangible user interfaces, robotics, and new media art. ...and I still play a lot of video games, watch cartoons, and eat unhealthy sugar-coated cereal. Some things never change!

Martial Arts I practiced Korean Martial Arts for several years in the Wushu Tae Kwon Do style. I trained under a hard-style system, the basic premise of which is that the best defense is a good offense. I reached the rank of first-level black belt. Maker Movement When I get home from work, it's time for tinkering! Whether it's building a microcontroller circuit or sculpting a digital model for 3D printing, you can be sure I always have something in the works that will result in lots of fun, and some voided warranties (And possibly a fire alarm or two). Classic Film I currently live in the greater Los Angeles area where movies are a way of life for many. Almost every weekend you can find me in an old theatre watching a 30's silent comedy, a 50's noir crime drama, or a terrible 80's/90's karate-disco-romance-comedy-thriller-musical that probably sounded like a great idea to the filmmakers while they were under the effects of some legally-questionable substance. Arcade Collecting Over the years, I have been fulfilling a childhood dream by piecing together elements for my very own arcade. My collection has grown impractically and irresponsibly large.
