i will try my best to give you a better idea of myself here
i hope i dont come across too conceited
hi, im keehar/spencer and im interested in a lot of things. i grew up in new jersey and, like a lot of other people, was pretty interested in computers from young age; i started building computers and making bots for club penguin. i studied multimedia in high school because i was interested in visual/audio design & composition, which gave me a lot of skills in handling projects, print/photo/video editing, performance, 3d modeling, DAWs, etc... i've also played the saxophone since primary school. after high school i moved to NYC to attend university and graduated with a bsc in computer science and minor in digital & time-based art. after graduating, i worked as a data engineer at IBM, quit, and then moved to tokyo.
i've always been interested in making video games and other media; video games always seemed to me like the final boss of art. with video game i would get to combine all of my skills/hobbies to create a cohesive piece. this made me really excited to hone my skills in each medium.

→ audio | ableton, audacity, puredata, wwise |
→ code | c, c#, hlsl, java, php, python |
→ game engines | godot, unity (inc. shaderlab) |
my main focus right now is on full stack 3d game development in unity using c#, hlsl, blender, photoshop, ableton, and wwise; with a particular focus on improving my skills in blender, hlsl, shaderlab, and wwise.
i've always also had an acute interest in audio (when working on game dev teams i most often like to work with audio programming or creating 3D assets). i create both original music and sound assets that i use within some of my projects, i hope to create more original music albums more. i usually bring my zoom recorder with me in case i come across some cool sounds U_U. the banner you see at the bottom of the screen is my last.fm activity, if you want to peek at what im listening to! usually, you can find me using a HiSense Touch as my DAP/eReader to stream from my plex server.
i also have a casual interest in both digital and analog photography, see please see my photos if you would like to take a look. usually when i am shooting film i am also developing and scanning the film myself. i shoot on a bunch of different cameras, but my most used right now are a sony a6600, a yashica mat, and a ricoh digital gr IV. my favorite film is ilford hp5+ (basic...)
i am both a us and eu citizen, and speak english and japanese.
