Adrian completed the IGA Video Game Accelerator Program and earned his Level 3 Badge! I’ve got CS degrees from Berkeley and Stanford. Then I joined a startup that got acquired by Google. After about six months, I switched the UX side of things as a prototyper where I was much happier and learned a ton about the world of design. Then in 2018 I quit and decided to pursue making games as a career. I released a first-person puzzle game called Obversion back in January and my current main project is a Minesweeper Zelda-like codenamed Metasweeper.
