About Me!
Hello there! My name is Gabrielle Marie Rivera and I am a student at Red River College Polytechnic, currently taking the Game Development - Programming course.
​
Prior to my time in RRC Polytech, I was studying Computer Science at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. I also took programming electives during high school which became my foundation in programming.
​
Aside from programming, I do spend a lot of time creating illustrations and publication materials for commissions and personal use. I incorporate my skills and knowledge in creative arts to my projects in order to further enhance the quality of my work.
​
As a video game enthusiast and programmer, I am proud to say that I love what I do and I love contributing to the community through the expression of code and visual storytelling.
