Who Am I?

That's me! Hey! I'm Alex, I am a senior at Champlain College, majoring in Computer Science & Innovation and minoring in Game Programming, graduating May 2013. I am currently employed as a Programmer Intern at Ubisoft Montreal. My experience includes game and interactive programming, as well as applications, tools, database, and website development. Programming is a huge passion of mine, but it's not all I do. Outside of my job and studies, you can usually find me out and about with my friends and family, or playing my guitar.

So why do I code? Well, ever since I was little, I've had a passion for solving puzzles. From simple crosswords, to cryptography and complex mathematics, and every step in between, I've always gotten a huge rush from solving difficult problems. Being a programmer is great for that because I'm constantly facing new challenges and puzzles, so I'm never bored, and it rocks that I'm making a career out of doing what I love.
