Problem Solving: Not afraid of new problems. Breaking them into smaller ones is what made this canvas-based site possible.

Swiftness: I pick up new concepts quickly. To build this site I learned both the 2D and WebGL canvas contexts.
Curiosity: I'm curious about new technologies and like to get my hands on them.
Knowledge: I understand computers as systems and work comfortably with the fundamentals. Master of Computer Science, Arizona State University, With Distinction.
Personality: Loyal, respectful and responsible. I value the team I work with as much as getting things done.
