An American-born Filipino, Michael Agustin grew up in the grand old state of Texas, where he developed a passion for not only playing games, but creating them. Driven by a childlike curiosity and the need to innovate, he aspires to breathe life into interactive entertainment and enrich the human experience.
Michael received his BA in Computer Science with a Minor in Business from The University of Texas at Austin. While there, he also became an avid photographer and graphic designer, and he soon began to appreciate the form and function of a good Mac.
After graduation he worked for the console developer Edge of Reality, writing games for the PlayStation 2, GameCube, and XBox. He then received a prestigious internship at Apple Computer, within their Platform Experience Group.
Michael is currently working on his Masters in Entertainment Technology at Carnegie Mellon. He has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and revels in the eight-count jazz dance called Lindy Hop
