I got into gaming early through PC classics like Half-Life, Warcraft III, Quake, and Counter-Strike, which quickly shaped how I approached games. Not just as entertainment, but as systems to understand and master. Those early experiences taught me to care about mechanics, balance, and the small optimizations that separate casual play from real skill.
World of Warcraft pulled me into long-form progression and theorycrafting, while card games like Magic: The Gathering and Hearthstone sharpened my interest in strategy, probability, and meta analysis. Over time my focus shifted toward deeper, more competitive games. I pent time with League of Legends, before eventually settling into what I play most today: CS2 and Dota, where mechanical precision and strategic depth meet.
Beyond playing, I’ve always enjoyed optimizing. Settings, builds, hardware, and even my day jobs. I like understanding why something works, not just that it works. These days I don’t grind games all day anymore, but I still care deeply about competitive gaming, good gear, smart setups, and high-level play. Gaming has been a constant thread throughout my life, and turning that long-term passion into something productive has been incredibly rewarding.
