Leveraging a technical background in manufacturing jet engines and prototype tooling for robotics, I have transitioned my focus to professional Game Design. As a Full Sail University graduate, I apply engineering precision and complex problem-solving skills to interactive media.

I am currently developing gameplay systems and level design architectures within Unreal Engine, focusing on creating immersive player experiences. My work combines technical implementation with creative design, bridging the gap between mechanical functionality and engaging gameplay loops.
