Stirling Gould

Software, Game Developer, Instructor


I've been creating programs and games since I was a kid, teaching code since 2022, and studying Computer Science at NC State since 2024. I'm always thinking of new ideas to implement and looking for people to work with! I also enjoy messing with electronics and making youtube videos in my free time.
