I'm a team lead for Thrive, an open-source online project working on creating a game originally inspired by Spore, but developed over time into its own independent game. Play as a species as you progress them from a single-celled organism to a civilization exploring the farthest reaches of outer space, and overcome the challenges of competing species and civilizations in your path towards achieving this. Along the way, a series of editors will allow you to personally customize your organism, your technology, your armies, and more.

Interests
For starters, I work on Thrive. I also like playing other video games, with a preference for strategy based ones. I enjoy playing sports, such as softball, basketball, and golf.

I plan on learning programming, first with Python and then C++. In addition, I would like to be able to further my skills at 3D modelling past the basics. I would ideally like to eventually be able to be a self-sufficient game developer in my free-time, starting with small projects and working my way up. However, I would not forego my commitment to Thrive.

I also plan on getting in to a good university to pursue a degree in the sciences, and afterwards hopefully land a place in medicine.
