Suffering from Schizophrenia has had its challenges and has shaped how I think, act, and behave.
I'm a highly creative individual, in fact, it's diagnosed. I have also developed a keen logical-driven brain to survive. I have an intense passion for programming due to its implicit logical nature and game development to channel my abnormal amount of creativity.
I strive for code perfection, absorbing any information that may better my ability to create highly optimised, extendable and readable code.
As for original and creative ideas... I think that's apparent.
