Chris Kurhan

I graduated college with a Software Engineering degree after always tinkering with custom map editors in games like StarCraft and CounterStrike. I've been programming since I was old enough to understand how to piece together some Visual Basic.

In 2015 right around the launch of Unity 5 I got into indie game development after working in enterprise software development for several years. In 2021 I started a YouTube channel, LlamAcademy, to share my knowledge of game development with the masses, emphasizing accessibility with each video having its full project code available on GitHub for free.

Now I'm excited to be partnering with GameDev.tv to share my knowledge with even more people and tackle some important topics that are better suited for course formats!
