I come from a Fine Arts background, and began to do graphic work with Photoshop 4. After playing through things like Quake and Doom, I got curious about how visuals are produced digitally. I thrashed around with some game engines, but settled on Actionscript 3 because the setup with flash was half script and half visual. At that point I started to look into design patterns and website production. Once Apple killed the flash player for the iPhone/iPad, client wishes pushed me to look into Javascript. After a seven year hiatus, I decided to offer a coding class at the local school, which led me to Phaser, and a renewed obsession with programming. Pretty cool stuff.
