Mighty Oak Entertainment is a small company started in 2023 to encompass all my passions, qualifications, and contact information in one place. Here you will find examples of my work in all the major feels I cover professionally. I am available for full time in person work doing high level programing, or project management. I am also available for long term and one-off contracts for design work, 3D modeling for functional parts, cases and or repairs. (FPV video to come later this summer)
I, Alex Achorn am a proud 'Jack of all Trades' but I'd like to think I've mastered a few along the way. I just finished Algonquin Colleges 3-year Game Development course with honors after just over 8 years of Carpentry to give a small idea of what I mean. My true mastery comes in the form of a passion for organization and planning combined with my vast knowledge base and inherent people skills. In my opinion no one person is the best at everything, but everyone is the best at something. Knowing this, admitting it, and asking for help from the right people is what keeps a project flowing.
Outside of work and my own past times I like to give back wherever possible. I've been volunteering with Hal-con since 2014, while having joined the committee in 2017. I now hold the position of Tech Manager for the Programing team. I also took the time to be a Student Rep and Program Assistant during my program. In hopes of representing and assisting my fellow students when ever possible.
I have a passion for retro video games and all forms of Makers activities. With a fairly hyperactive case of ADHD, I avoided the tech industry for quite some time despite my own passions. After years of watching and assisting in the VR space I gained new faith that I could find a place that would accommodate my needs and allow me to bring joy to the lives of others!
