I'm a fourth year philosophy major at the University of Southern California, minoring in Video Game Programming. My work experience includes management, art and technical work with start-ups and entrepreneurs in Los Angeles, every stage of a game development pipeline with a small company in Dunedin, New Zealand, game design and programming on Triple-A titles in Stockholm, Sweden and open source involvement in the first Google Summer of Code, while I was living in Hong Kong. My philosophical interests cover just about every field, but with a particular emphasis on philosophy of mind and also epistemology, which I hope one day to reconcile with the intuitive account of knowledge, from which it has radically strayed. I'm currently working on several essays which I intend to submit for publication, and plan one day to secure a PhD in philosophy and fade away into academia (Which the Cynic's Dictionary describes as "A chronic disease characterized by a compulsion to write lengthy specialized treatises in unintelligible vocabularies, for the purpose of rising in the esteem of those similarly afflicted." - May we one day be worthy of a little more respect!)
