Profile Picture

Hi, my name is Rylan Graham, an Undergraduate student at Centro de la Imagen y la TecnologĂ­a Multimedia - Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (CITM-UPC) in Barcelona, Spain. I am currently studying Video Game Design & Development. I am a Canadian citizen, who has lived his life abroad, living in Canada, Poland, the USA, and now Spain!


Background

About Me

Video games have been a constant in my life since a young age when I was gifted an old Nintendo 64 from my uncle, and since then it's stuck. I enjoy both playing and developing video games, as the joy I find in gaming is a product of others efforts, and now I have the tools to provide the same. For development I enjoy working on AI & machine learning softwares & applications, currently working for CUPRA as an intern in AI-Enhanced UI/UX.

Outside of the world of video games, I enjoy doing pretty much anything that has a board involved, skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, wakeboarding, you get the idea. I also enjoy playing my Stratocaster, spending time with friends, football, or taking a nice nap.

I have an incredibly international upbringing, living across 4 different countries in my lifetime, and credit this to my open, outgoing, and explorative nature.

For more information on me, my work, and CV go check out my personal portfolio page RJ Graham Collection, where I explain all project & professional work in more detail.
