My name is Marcus Dean Kitchen and I am currently a musician, luthier, and sound engineer with almost 20 years of experience both performing and producing music spanning many genres. I've recorded over 20 albums and toured North America as far south as New Orleans and as far north as Montreal, CA.I'm also a full-stack software engineer and independent game developer. My desire to learn new skills and challenge myself are what lead me to pursue this new career through an extremely intense 5 month bootcamp at Flatiron School in NYC. It was at Flatiron where I discovered an even greater passion for coding-especially game programming and design. Currently, post-graduation has kept me busy with my continued learning of game development concepts and common gaming code languages such as C++ and Lua.My technical skills are:•Software// JavaScript, React, HTML, CSS, node.js, Typescript, Python, SQL/Flask, GIT/GitHub, JSON, VSCode, Postman•Game Development// Unreal Engine 5, Blueprint Scripting, C++ refactoring, Fusion 360, Marvelous Designer, Blender 3D Modeling•
