Welcome!
You’ve arrived at the landing-page for Gavin Costello.
This is a site where I’ll be posting occasional and sporadic updates on things I’m doing, varying from game engine technology programming, to pet projects (games and other), to adventures in making some likely pretty-bad programmer art, to robotics projects, and any other things that I think might be remotely interesting to people.
I don’t plan to update this super often, so feel free to sign up to the newletter if any of my posts interest you and you’d like to get more.
