Hi there. I’m Deirdra Kiai, and this is my corner of the internet. Sit back, relax, and make yourself comfortable. I’ll bring the tea in a minute.

Since you did, after all, click on the “Who Am I?” link, I’m assuming you’d like to know who I am, exactly. [1] Well, let’s see here… I’m a young, up-and-coming game developer with delusions of grandeur currently holding a day job as a programmer at Hothead Games. Before that, I studied computer science at the University of British Columbia and puttered around at various intern-like positions in the industry. In the meantime, I wrote (and still write) several games and interactive stories in my spare time, all of which are available for download on this site. Essentially, this blog mainly consists of me talking about my work and my hopefully useful ideas, and how they all fit into this strange and crazy world we live in. Exciting, no?

Other interests and activities of mine include playing and writing music, discussing philosophy, getting lost in a good book, and consuming caffeinated beverages. I also happen to be a member of the Baha’i Faith, and tend to score as INTJ on personality tests.
