About Me

I'm a passionate Game Development student at Florida Polytechnic University, excited about creating engaging and fun games. Originally from North Fort Myers, Florida, I moved to Lakeland to dive deeper into game development and sharpen my skills in programming and design.

I've built a solid foundation in game mechanics and design, working with tools like GameMaker, Unity and Unreal Engine. From developing unique gameplay mechanics and narrative systems in GameMaker to designing UI and game mechanics for mobile games in Unity, my experience covers a range of exciting projects. I've also played a key role in game jams and competitions, contributing to projects with physics-based mechanics, AI systems, and endless gameplay loops.

Beyond game development, I'm well-versed in web development. I'm skilled in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Bootstrap, and I've created responsive websites featuring automated email confirmations and Google Sheets integration. My freelance work on Fiverr involves building simple 2D video games and designing webpages.

I approach each project with enthusiasm and a desire to explore new technologies and ideas. My goal is to create unique, high-quality experiences in games, fueled by the passion I've had since childhood.

Favorite Video Games: Minecraft, Stardew Valley, Moonlighter, American Truck Simulator, Age of Empires, Among Us
