About Me

Hi, I'm Advay!

I'm a Computer Scientist based in Vancouver. I love making games, software and 3D models. I'm all about learning new things and creating cool stuff.

When I'm not coding or creating art, you can find me exploring indie titles and experimenting with new recipes.

On this website you'll find some of my games, projects, 3D models, OpenGl shaders and pixel artwork. Hope you enjoy it!
