About

Welcome to my website! I'm Elwin, and I grew up in British Columbia. In the winter, I enjoy skiing and snowboarding, while in the warmer months, I like to hike and boulder. When I want to relax, I prefer a good book and an episode of House of the Dragon.

In my spare time, I research new topics and tools and create projects to deepen my understanding of their usage. One of the coolest things I've learned so far is how behavior trees are used to drive AI decision-making in games. Check out my GitHub to see what I'm currently working on!
