I am a computer scientist who enjoys game development. My specialties include gameplay and graphics programming, with my favorite bit of those fields to personally implement being particle systems and other graphical effects that add impact and game feel to the actions people take in game. I enjoy working in a team environment and pride myself on my ability to communicate both within my field of expertise and to translate concepts between different people's specializations. I also just enjoy games as my art form of choice and will happily get into rich discussions about the parts of games that can have profound effects on people. I graduated from DigiPen Institute of Technology, majoring with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science in Real-Time Interactive Simulation

I am also a third culture kid. After a few years in Seattle and Quito, Ecuador, I grew up primarily in Yangon, Myanmar. Living in such different cultures and visiting many more has given me an introspective outlook on life. A big lesson I've learned is that communication can take many forms and everyone has their own little preferences when it comes to talking or listening. From this mindset, I find I am quite good at breaking down information into ways that others can understand well, and I work well at communicating between disciplines as well as cultures.
