Louis Pearson, Programmer

Biography

Hi! I'm Louis. I'm always learning new things - it started back in elementary school when I wanted to know how games were made. That's when I began my long journey of discovery.

Some of my favorite topics include Game Development, Computer Science, Open Source, Robotics, Urban Design, Sustainability, and more that I can't even remember.

When I'm not thinking too hard, you can find me reading fantasy books like The Stormlight Archive, playing video games like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and watching anime like Mob Psycho.
