I've had the opportunity to work with some incredibly creative people on a variety of projects, allowing me to test myself against a multitude of implementation challenges while collaborating with colleagues from around the world. As a result, I've become familiar with working on interdisciplinary teams where I specialized in rapidly prototyping gameplay systems and UI elements.

As a programmer, I highly value writing clean, extensible, and easily maintainable code. It is very important to me that the features I implement are easy for my colleagues to understand and use. As a game developer, I'm deeply interested in games that give players opportunities to have meaningful experiences. When I think of meaningful experiences that I've had with games, I think of games that have served as a medium for me to just hang out with friends, games that had engaging and immersive story experiences, or even games that turned into silly and wacky adventures that my friend group can still reference years later. I love the games that connect players, and I have high hopes for their potential as a medium as more of the world begins to engage with them.

When I'm not tinkering with one piece of code or another, I'm probably experimenting with different cuisines or playing indie and competitive co-op games accompanied by my friends (and two kitty co-pilots!) I hope to have the opportunity to work with you soon!
