Name

Barret Vasilchik


 

Bio

I am 23 years old and a graduate of Fullsail Real World Education. I grew up in a small town called Lake Placid Florida. Currently, I live in Orlando Florida. I enjoy the fine art of entertaining others through technology.


I have always, since I was young, been fascinated with computers and technology The first time I played pong on my atari I was amazed by the feeling that I got from having interaction with what was happening on the tv. My first pc was the Commodore 64. From it I discovered the world of computers and formed a passion for learning everything I could about them.


Over the years I formed a strong interest, specifically in video games on the pc and console. I found most of my free time consumed by these beautiful creations. At age 12 I decided that this is what I wanted to do with my life. Now at age 23 I have educated myself in the art of programming, game development and design. I have worked on two team game projects and am looking forward to many more.


With the knowledge and experience I've had in life, I have learned a most valuable lesson. That lesson is that in the world of technology you will never stop learning. You will always be a student and there will always be new technologies and platforms. It's a fast paced exciting world in which I was fortunate enough to be able to immerse myself. The rest of my life is a book waiting to be written and I have many chapters left to fill.
