About Me

I'm a dedicated game design and development student with a passion for blending technology and creativity to build immersive experiences. My academic journey covers courses in application development, project leadership, systems analysis, and 3D modeling, providing a strong foundation for technical problem-solving. Alongside my formal education, I’ve developed extensive self-taught skills in Python, Lua, C++, and JavaScript which fuel my ability to create innovative game mods and full-stack projects. I also love community technical events, particularly those close to Milwaukee. I recently led a hackathon project, winning a "Best in Teamwork" award that showcased my capability to manage and execute collaborative projects under pressure. I believe in continuously expanding my skill set and applying a growth mindset to every project I undertake. Ultimately, I'm eager to bring my diverse experiences to a development environment where I can chase innovation and further refine my craft.
