TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

I'm a firm believer in mastering the first principles when it comes to learning anything. What that means is that we take a concept, break it down into its smallest unknown, and then start from there. If the foundation is solid, then we can build well upon it.

If you're interested in 3D development, game design, or integrating AI services in your web workflow, I sincerely encourage you to reach out to me. I look forward to working with you." less...
