Fun
When developers have fun creating a product, it often reflects in the quality of what's produced. Work hard and work smart, but remember to leave room for fun.
Communication
It's a tale as old as time, but communication is key. Whether it's feedback, a schedule notice, or a deadline issue, be prompt, clear, and honest.
Learning
"If everything you try works, you aren't trying hard enough." - Gordon Moore
Never stop learning; the tech industry won't wait up.
About Me
I received my Master of Science in Game Design and Development from Rochester Institute of Technology in May 2025. At RIT, I specialized in gameplay programming, web development, and pixel art, working on many projects ranging from small prototypes to polished vertical slices.
My experience has primarily been in small cross-functional teams following scrum-like processes while prioritizing agile principles. One of those many teams evolved into what is now Yesteryear Games, an indie game studio I co-founded with a few of my classmates. In the summer of 2024, we released our first game, Bat Bots, for free on Steam.
While my degree is in games, I have a strong passion for front-end web development. I have experience with frameworks like Svelte and React, which I typically use alongside TypeScript for scripting and Tailwind for styling. I also have some experience with backend technologies using Node.js and C#, including MongoDB, Redis, and Docker.
