Designed, Programmed, and created 3D Art for the company's first title Trigger Finger. Trigger Finger is a VR game, and many challenges associated with developing for VR needed to be learned to give the player the best experience possible. Trigger Finger was released on Steam for the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive headsets on PC.Designed, Programmed, and created 3D Art for the second Monarchy Media game, Thigh Climbers. This game gave me the opportunity to learn the Unreal Engine and program using their Blueprints system. Thigh Climbers was also released on Steam for PC, but is not a VR game.The most recent projects I have worked on, after Thigh Climbers, are a set of mobile games for iOS and Android. The games: Rollmentum, Zip or Zap, and DropDisc have taught me valuable skills for optimizing games for mobile devices and implementing effective monetization strategies for free games.#monarchymedia Show less

While working with Synechron, I learned the best practices of being a Software Quality Assurance Tester and worked on assigned client projects. I was given a 6 week training program by the company before working directly with clients. In my work, I used many SDLC programs and maintained a library of test cases and bug reports.

Since graduation I have been spending all of my time looking for work while continuing to create games. I have taught myself valuable skills such as network programming and fine tuning my gameplay programming techniques in C#. I have worked on multiple projects to learn these skills, releasing the finished games on mobile app stores.
