Hi there! I’m Kevin de Youngster, currently studying Computer Science year at Ashesi University. I work as a Frontend developer at Chalkboard Education and make games during my free time.
I’ve been building games since 2016 when I started organizing game development hackathons at Ashesi. One of those successful releases is Tagetti (available on the Play Store) with which I won the CrazyGames Scholarship / Competition.
One of my raisons d’être is to help people build awesome stuff, and I look forward to doing so with you guys over the weekend.
