Sant Games Studios is an indie game development company based in Miami, Florida. I was the lead programmer and designer of Polar Run, an IOS and Android game. I managed a small team to fully complete and release the game within a year. The work involved using C# and Unity3D game engine.

As an intern, I worked on both frontend and backend technologies. Part of my internship revolved around creating a localization pattern that could be used on every product within the company.

Although this was my first internship, I managed to output a high quality of work that led to a full-time software engineer position.
