About me
Karaoke Enthusiast | Factory Game Fanatic | Avid Learner
As a game industry veteran and full-stack software developer, I bring
a wide range of tools to any team I join. From concept to design to
engineering and finally to implementation, I embody the concept of
“full- stack”. I love working in a team in both team and leadership
roles to solve problems and provide a wide range of creative
solutions. I have over a decade of experience creating game content
and user experiences for two MMOs and am proficient with a wide range
of 3D & 2D design tools. More recently I have attended the full-time
NSS web development boot camp to hone my engineering and algorithmic
thinking skills.
