I was born and raised in Brasov, Romania, the city at the foothills of mountain Tampa, which is also considered the heart of Transylvania. Since I was little, I enjoyed welcoming challenges into my life and, later on, I realized that, for most of the problems, nature has already figured out a way to solve them. Nature gives us the solution, we just have to be patient and open to the world as it unfolds in front of us everyday.

My first encounter with programming was during high school. I studied intensive informatics and mathematics during my 4 years of high school which gave me a basic understanding of how algorithms, computers and programs are all related to each other. During high school I also made my first steps into the game development world. Like every other kid, I grew up playing and enjoying video games but later I gradually started to gain interest in the process of making them and the technology involved behind this process. I did some research and I discovered Unity, which provided me a sanctuary to put in practice my own ideas and imagination as a freelancer. I made a few games and I kicked off my game developer career by completing some freelancing projects.

After finishing high school, I wanted to explore this field more, but I also wanted to get out of my comfort zone and grow. Thus, I decided to embark on my journey to England to study game development at the University of Hull. During my undergraduate years as a student, I thoroughly learned about the game development industry and in particular about networking, low level graphics libraries (DirectX, OpenGL) and the ethics and responsibilities of developing software. I also started exploring the field of 3D game art by modelling, sculpting and texturing game environment scenes.
