Hey there, I'm Neriah! My ID online is Keyyva.

I'm a programmer, game developer and artist who graduated from the 3 year Game Programming course at Humber College in Apr 2018.

My main skill set is in game development and software programming. Though I'm also capable of websites and IT work.

Additionally, I have skills in 3D art (Blender and 3ds Max) being modeling, rigging, weight painting, animation and UV unwrapping.

My other interests are: motorcycles, rock/metal music, photography/video/audio, animals and performing circus acts (yo-yo, devil/flower sticks, spinning plates).
