Meet Alex, a self-proclaimed digital nomad and aspiring indie game developer who spent a year at the University of Waterloo studying computer science. Originally drawn to the co-op program, Alex became disillusioned with the academic routine and found solace in creating virtual reality experiences. With a penchant for existential humor, they often view life through the lens of gaming, believing that university feels like a simulation where everyone is just a background character. Now, Alex channels their creativity into developing games that challenge perceptions of reality, all while questioning the seriousness of traditional educational pathways.
