About me.

Hi, I'm Alex. Nice to meet you.
I'm a guy from Washington. I'm 23.
In my day job, I work as a programmer, testing graphics platforms and tools.

In my free time...
- I think a lot about game design, and its potential for expression.
- I work on small prototypes that explore these ideas.
- I like art that is simple and small and honest.
- I love to program. My games mostly use custom, from-scratch engines.
- I'm interested in the question of how to live!

It's nice to meet you! Go ahead and take a look around.
