I graduated from East Tennessee State University in 2022 with a Bachelor's of Science in Game Design, focused on gameplay programming in Unreal Engine 4/5. During my college career, I programmed a VR training simulator for the East Tennessee Children's Hospital, a small indie platformer called "Fun Size", and a Pokemon fangame which earned an article on Gamerant. After graduating, I landed a job as a Junior Gameplay Programmer at Triiodide Studios, where I worked on C++ algorithms for procedural level generation, Epic Games' Procedural Content Generation (PCG), and multiplayer systems for puzzles.
