A dedicated computer engineer with a strong foundation in game development and software engineering. After earning my Computer Science degree from Columbus State Community College, I continued my education at Full Sail University, where I will graduate this fall with Honors in Game Development.

I'm passionate about project management and team leadership, with experience guiding teams and optimizing workflows for better efficiency. Alongside my leadership skills, I've developed strong technical expertise in object-oriented programming, ECS, algorithms, and system architecture. I'm highly proficient in C++ and C#, and also have working knowledge of HLSL, Blueprint, JavaScript and Python as well as hands-on experience with real-time rendering, physics simulation and AI gameplay systems.
