As a game developer, I work hard to put my genuine passion for game development into practice with extensive experience in computer science and extracurricular game projects. Like any good programmer, I always look forward to tackling new areas of game development, and solving unique and interesting problems.
In my four years making games, I have worked in a variety of settings while developing my skillset. I have professional experience making games as part of MSU BEACON and also as part of the MSU Games for Entertainment and Learning Lab (GEL Lab), as well as personal experience working on game jams, class projects, and solo projects.
