// About Me

Who am I?

Hi, my name is Edvin Nordangård and I live on the south side of Stockholm. I got into coding at 15 after moving here from Värnamo, starting out with some light JavaScript and building a small website in HTML and CSS for a school project, which is honestly where my interest started. That led me to pick a high school that had Unity and C# baked into the curriculum, with courses in programming and even applied VR development. After graduating I spent a year as a substitute teacher at that same school, mostly teaching math, programming and CAD but really ending up in all kinds of classrooms. It was during that year that my friends Mohammed and Emil told me about The Game Assembly, and I started working on some projects from the past in unity to send in and hopefully get admitted.

Outside of that I used to play a lot of volleyball, almost six years between Värnamo and Stockholm, and I genuinely miss it and hope to pick it up again someday. I'm pretty spontaneous in my personal life and usually make plans with friends maybe an hour before. I like cooking but really hate doing the dishes, which honestly stops me from making anything too ambitious. And of course I love video games, been playing since my uncle introduced me to his Nintendo 64 and Mario Kart. I'm a console gamer at heart with a soft spot for turn based strategy games like XCOM, though most of my online time goes to Overwatch since it's the one game all my friends from different cities actually play together.

It's my mom in the picture.

// Overview

Current focus

I'm a game programming student at The Game Assembly Stockholm, focusing on C++ and game engine development. As part of my education, I’m developing a custom DirectX 11 game engine in a team of six while simultaneously creating games using it. Alongside this, my studies include graphics programming, artificial intelligence, and visual scripting, as well as many others.

I'm currently looking for an internship opportunity where I can contribute to a development team while continuing to grow my skills in game programming, engine development, and graphics.
