About Me

Hello! I am Ben LeBlanc, a game developer from Toronto, Canada. A lifelong passion for video games had me changing careers in 2017 from finance to game development. I graduated with honors from George Brown College in 2020 and have since worked at Electronic Arts on Covet Fashion as a Quality Designer. I consider myself a generalist programmer, though with a focus on gameplay and environmental design. Currently I am enrolled at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) in their Computer Coding Certificate (estimated completion, Winter 2025)

Since graduating college I have made continuing education a pillar of my time. Continuously earning online certificates and working on my own projects as you can see below. I have an intense desire to bring fantastic worlds to life and I will continue to push my skills in order to achieve that.

Beyond that I have a YouTube channel where you can watch me play through some varied and interesting games.

Last year I also begun my own fund called "Ben's Helping Fund". It's small so far, but the plan is to create a financially sustainable fund that prioritizes making a more fair and equitable society. Ever heard of a sovereign wealth fund? It'll be something like that!

This website is very much a work in progress, for someone that wants to be a game developer I've finished a surprisingly few amount of games. I'm currently working hard to rectify that, please check out the blog I'm releasing to get updates.

Personal Projects

Overview

As an aspiring game developer I think it's important to develop games. Shocking! The page linked here will highlight all of the game projects I'm currently noodling on. Expect a lot of developer art.

Udemy

I've spent many hours throughout the years doing lessons on Udemy. I believe that continued learning is never a bad thing. Though I admit I have sacrificed working on my own projects too much in the past. Nevertheless, I would like to highlight all of the courses I've completed over the years. Enjoy!
