Hello! I am a game programmer and technical designer. My professional work includes programming and design work for the entire product lifetime of Speed of Dark Music's audio game "Rocococo ~ Audiogame Fantastique" and core system architecture of Tandemi's upcoming debut title: "Begone Beast".In 2019, I received an honorable discharge from the United States Marine Corps, where I served as a musician and small unit leader. In 2023, I graduated summa cum laude from DigiPen Institute of Technology with a degree in game design. While at DigiPen, I kept my military-earned leadership skills sharp by serving as a producer in all 3 of my student game projects and by mentoring other students and peers as a teaching assistant of 15 courses.In addition to the extensive design knowledge earned by my degree, I bring a very deep self-taught domain knowledge of Unity, C#, and software engineering best practices to my teams. I spend ample free time learning about software development both inside and outside of games, sharing that knowledge with my friends and peers, and of course by playing and studying the industry's popular and well-reviewed titles.As both an engineer and a designer, I believe that the team is greater than the individual, and this is reflected in my work. In addition to my regular duties, I am a constant advocate for positive collaborative culture, through pair programming, code reviews, design reviews, and collaborative design. Great games are made by great teams, and as an individual it is my job to empower my team members- to always be developing a culture of greater trust and mutual support.
