Meet Our Team
We are a group of Software and Electrical Engineering students from the University of Victoria. We combined our passions for programming, artificial intelligence, and gaming to deliver an artificial intelligence tool to help newcomers discover a love for technology and creating something new.
Eric is a fourth-year Software Engineering student graduating in August 2019. He is a Canadian through-and-through having already lived and worked in 5 Canadian provinces. His love for creative projects and problem-solving led him to his studies at UVic. Eric brings his passion for code and design to all his projects both in and out of school.
