Hello! I am Daniel Boghossian, a skillful and industrious college student with a Bachelors in Computer Science and Game Development. Playing my first ever video game, Super Mario World on my Nintendo DS, I knew I wanted to purse a career in game development. My goal is to be able to provide others with the same joy and comfort I felt as a child, and even now, playing video games.
In middle school I taught myself my first coding language, sparking my aspiration to create the mechanics that breath life into video games. Being able to create something with my own hands, something anyone else anywhere in the world can interact with, is an art form that I wish to devote the rest of my life to.
Since that first coding class I created over a dozen games, spanning across different languages and engines. Everyday I strive to learn something new, to advance my skills and broaden my horizons. I will make an impact on the world.
