About me
I'm Einar Hallik
When I got into game development, I didn't have any programming experience. However, it didn't take long until programming captivated me so strongly that I could spend whole days solving problems and discovering more and more sophisticated solutions to the projects I worked on.
In these short two years, I learnt two programming languages and two engines. I managed to get into Futuregames with less than a year of experience in programming. At the time of writing, I participated in 3 game jams, worked in 10 group projects, so I have experienced both ups and downs in this journey.
