My name is Ian McCleary. I am a self-taught programmer. I've always enjoyed creative pursuits. I started teaching myself how to make games during middle school and have kept at it since.

​

After graduating from high school I spent several years working at Walmart, while attending Lonestar College and simultaneously working on my own projects. During this time I led several teams in creating both Triumph of Worfenfirgen (an RTS) and Templar Dungeon (a 3D action game). After getting my Associates of Science in Game Design I founded Toastie Republic with my good friend and designer Jason Khan. Together we created Engauge, a 2D action platformer.
