Hello! I'm Leland, a Indie Game Developer based in Halifax. Almost everyday for the past 12+ years I have worked on some sort of programming project. Most of my spare time goes into game development, but I am also skilled with many other tools and languages in the broader Computer Science industry.
Some people may say I have an addiction to coding, but I just love to learn new languages, tools and technologies to strengthen my skills.

Education
During my time at Dalhousie University I picked up many useful skills. From Privacy and Network Security to Software Engineering and Operating Systems I extended my knowledge and explored the opportunities that came with them.
My time learning algorithms and advanced math concepts led me to see a different side of programming, one that was focused on optimization and time complexities. My professors showed me that programming was more than just a single solution, but rather a form of art that is unique to the programmer.
