games | music | films

Hey, I'm Alex! Here's a little bit about me, if you don't know me.

I'm 24 years old and I live in Bellevue, Washington.

I make games, music, and short films. I publish it all through this site.

I believe in small, personal works of art. I believe in the joy of learning things from scratch. I believe in the use of the whole self. That's where most of my stuff comes from.

I love rock climbing, pixel art, graphics programming, ice hockey, good code, Mk.gee, The Witness, the mysterious games in UFO 50 by Eirik Suhrke, Super Mario Galaxy, nondualism, Pokemon nuzlockes, spikeball, and the summertime.

What I'm doing now:

  • I'm currently contracting for Nintendo Technology Development as a Graphics / GPU Tools SDET.
  • Otherwise, I've been spending my time doing analog synthesis and CPU profiling.
