    I am an avid gamer. I own many different games on PC. I have many favorite games, here are a few of my favorites.

    • VVVVVV
      VVVVVV is a challenging platforming game by Terry Cavanagh that has the very neat mechanic of your character not being able to jump. However, you do have the ability to invert gravity if you are standing on a surface. This is my favorite game at the moment.
    • Katamari Damacy
      One of my favorite PS2 games. This game is wierd, yet fantastic. I mean, what other game allowes you to roll up continents into a massive ball?

Computers

Being a PC gamer, I also have a variety of computers at my disposal. My main PC is a custom built PC that I built and designed myself. I also have 2 laptops, one of which I use for class and the other for portable gaming. Lastly, over the summer, I have come to own 2 apple computers, one is an Imac from 2005 and the other is a Mac Mini from 2011. The apple computers are being used as server machines.

Here are the specs of my main PC

  • Motherboard: Asus z97 Pro Wifi-AC
  • CPU: Intel i7 4790k
  • CPU Heatsink: Noctua NHD-15
  • RAM: 16 GB DDR3
  • Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 970
  • Storage: 5 TB HDD and 400 GB Intel 750 series NVME PCIE SSD
  • Monitors: 1440p primary display and 2 1080p secondary displays

Programming

I have had some experience programming in the past. The languages I am most familiar with are Python and Javascript. I also know a bit of Matlab, but not that much.

Photography

Another thing I am interested in is Photography. My phone has a great camera in it so whenever I am out and about, I like to take pictures. Here is a slideshow of a few pictures I took. If you do not have Javascript enabled, then this will look like a column of images.
