About Me

My name is Tristan Hughes. I have a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering with an emphasis on indie game design and development, complemented by IT experience in technical support, hardware diagnostics, and A/V systems. Development tools have only been getting better and it seems that the sky is the limit for small development teams or individual developers. My goal is create high quality software that demonstrates the levels that a small development team or individual developers can take things. An additional goal of mine is to contribute my I.T. experience to a dynamic team.
