Software Engineering – C programming
Hive Helsinki is a project-based coding school that offers a unique and innovative approach to software development education. The school's peer-to-peer learning environment allows students to collaborate and solve problems with each other, with projects evaluated by other students rather than traditional teachers or classes.
The curriculum is gamified and focused on practical projects, with a strong emphasis on team communication, version control, and task automation for testing and peer-review.

I have also participated in two 48h Game Jams in Hive Helsinki. On the first one I worked alone, and created the "Zombies!" game playable below. On the second one I was a part of a three person group.
