About Me
My name is Steph Charij and I am 19 years old. Computer games have always been a passion of mine since a very young age growing up with my first console, a Sega Megadrive, and playing on it with my brother. As we grew up we gained quite a large collaboration of consoles and titles between us and my fondness for games only grew. I thoroughly enjoyed being better than my brother and his friends at games we played and my competitiveness carried through into pretty much all aspects of my life.
I studied Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, and Philosophy and Ethics at A level, which may seem odd to lead into a computing career, but I decided to choose the subjects that I enjoyed the most. Biology and Maths were by far my favourite subjects.
I chose to study Computer Games Programming because of my love of games and my love of logic. I had very little programming experience before joining the university, but my whole family are programmers so I figured it was inevitable and with practise I could manage it myself and get into the industry I enjoy the most.
You may wonder which games I play, well here is a list of a few of my favourites:
- Final Fantasy
- Kingdom Hearts
- Zelda
- Counterstrike: Source
- Peggle (I'm addicted! @_@)
- Braid
- Dance Dance Revolution
- Super Smash Brothers (I kick ass on it)
- Half Life
I also enjoy a good board game! My house mates and I have recently become addicted to Carcassonne and if you haven't played it you should definitely try it out.
