As an undergraduate, I developed a deep appreciation for taking ideas from concept to completion-through iteration, prototyping, debugging, and problem-solving. Those late nights of stepping through breakpoints and combing through documentation taught me persitence and sharpened the skills I now bring to both game development and broader computer science challenges.
What I value most though, are the opprotunities I've had to collaborate with passionate, creative teams-experiences that strengthened not only my technical ability but also my love for the craft and the people behind it.
Now that I’ve graduated, I'm eager to apply my skills across game development, and software engineering. My goal is to contribute to projects that create engaging, useful and sometimes wonderfully strange digital experiences-while continuing to explore new technologies and expand my expertise.
Check out what I've been reading as of late to keep myself polished!
