About

Software Engineer, Game Designer, Musician, Artist. I've been writing software since I was about 12 years old. Writing software has always been a creative outlet for me. Not only am I obsessed with efficiency, I'm dedicated to the idea of an enjoyable and seamless experience. Proficient in many languages including C/C++, C#, Javascript, Python, Rust, and others. That being said I've worn many hats over the years and have become comfortable working in areas outside my comfort zone. Most of my experience with programming comes from creating games. Here are some of the released games I have worked on: - Risk of Rain: http://riskofraingame.com/ - Deadbolt: http://store.steampowered.com/app/394970/ - Uncanny Valley: http://store.steampowered.com/app/359580/ - Impale Your Friends!: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1059370/ Outside of work, I enjoy writing music and graphics programming. I volunteer some Tuesday afternoons at my local Foodshare. I'm committed to humane and equitable treatment of all workers. The way to my heart is through music recommendations.

I was brought on to help with development of a game called "Uncanny Valley". Tasked with working on gameplay programming as well as UI programming and other things integral to the game. I worked on both the PC and Xbox One ports of the game. Having worked on this, I gained a great deal of knowledge in regards to programming on both the PC, and environment in which I was used to, as well as the Xbox One. Up until this point I had had no prior experience working on a console release. The game is set to be released on Steam and Xbox One Q2 2015.
