About Me
Introduction
Hello, Samuel here! Welcome to my page!
I'm a driven individual who values freethought, equality and innovation, with a yearning for knowledge and truth, always hungry for new experiences. I have a tendency to challenge and push myself to explore my absolute limits and do my best to grow as a person.
Growing up, I was the only person in my family who had even a remote interest in games and tech. It was only because of my obstinacy that we eventually acquired a computer, which was when I started to get intrigued by the video game medium. This interest has developed for many years from that point onwards and is today my sole passion for making into my livelihood.
Here is a few ways I would use to describe myself:
Deep-thinker: I often thoroughly think things through before I act, both professionally and socially.
Problem-solver: I enjoy using my brain and indulge in logical thinking puzzles and like to deal with problems head-on.
Realist: I try to hold an objective opinion about most things as I know that feelings can easily get in the way of making good judgements.
Team-player: When working in a team, it's important for me that everyone feels included and are feeling well.
