I’m Gareth, but most people online know me as Spirited Snowcat. I work as a Senior Software Engineer in the game industry, specializing in high availability, scalable microservices for game systems. In my academics, I focused heavily on project courses in distributed systems, database design, networking, cryptography, and system design. In my free time, I work on my game projects and photography. This website is dedicated to those personal projects; feel free to look around.
