Anton Valencia
My name is Anton, thank you for stopping by. If you are interested, I would like to tell you a little about myself and also show you what I have going on.
Quick details about me:
I graduated from UCSD with a major in Electrical Engineering in 2012. My passion has always been
in the field of electronics and programming. Right now I'm currently working as an embedded
software engineer but I really mostly do project engineering. Hopefully I find myself continuously
working on embedded projects and web development projects because I like to write software and also
work on hardware.
Thank you,
Anton
PS. One of my good friends, Elizabeth, helped me add the transition effect to the site. You can visit her site at elizabethalvarez6

Haha, no really I would like to think that I'm a down to earth kind of guy. I love talking about electronics and my two favorite companies in the whole world are Sony and Google, in that order. Recently I just got married and have been busy working at my current job mostly. At night, I work on various personal projects (Nerf guns lately) and play games. I'm trying to be a little more proactive in updating this site.
Some new updates would be that I have put together a few game projects using GameMaker: Studio by YoYo Games. The software is actually really easy to learn and get used to, will attemp to post the two games I have made so far. I think I will actually try to switch to Unreal Engine 4 as it will help me learn a bit more but GameMaker is an easy tool to use for making 2D games.
Sincerely, Anton

So I used to have a Radeon HD 6850 which I have since replaced, which used to have an unusual screen issue and some weird flickering when unplugging a usb flashdrive. It had some random problems, probably because it was a HIS brand card. Unusual manufacturer, now I have an MSI card. Works with no problems thankfully.
