About Me:

Video games have been a passion of mine from a very young age. It was only natural that I take the next step and focus on them as a lifelong career. I personally believe that programming is much more than just writing code. Anyone can learn a programming language. To me being a programmer is more so about being a problem solver. In order to program successfully you need to be able to identify a problem, conceptualize a solution, and commit that solution to code. In my opinion the core of that process lies in conceptualizing that solution.

I am currently skilled in C++, C#, and UnrealScript, however I have am familiar with other programming and markup languages as well. I have experience working with the Unreal Engine 3 (via UDK), various SDKs (DirectX, Source) as well as Microsoft’s XNA Game Studio. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Advancing Technology and currently hold a BS in Software Engineering with a focus on video game programming.
