About Me
Hi! I'm a PhD student in the Department of Computing Science at the University of Alberta. My research interests include computational creativity, machine learning, and co-creative systems.
I'm also an indie game developer, composer, and writer.
You can see my code on Github, and play my games on Steam and itch.io.
