About Me

Hi, I'm Advay!

I'm a Computer Scientist based in Vancouver. I love learning new things and creating cool stuff. Over the years, I've explored all kinds of avenues ranging from finance to 3D modeling.

When I'm not coding or creating art, you can find me exploring indie games and experimenting with my 3D printer.

On this website you'll find some of my projects, as well as some 3D models and OpenGl shaders among other artwork. Hope you enjoy it!
