Game Programmer.
Intro
I am a Game Enthusiast with a passion for making games. I grew up playing games and enjoying the freedom and experiences that they brought with them, getting into game development so I can bring that same enjoyment to others.
I am a graduate of Shawnee State University where I spent 4 years learning programming with a focus on making games. I am proficient in C++, Python, and Unreal, and have learned C#, C and Unity. I understand the importance of teamwork and communications and enjoy work in teams to complete projects.

The Olympos Trials
The Olympos Trials is a futuristic roman shooter with a focus on elemental cores. You fight through hoards of enemies as you navigate the colosseums maze, collecting guns and cores. Destroy the generators around the maze to lower the forcefield around the central stage to challenge the champion of the Arena.
The Olympos Trials was the Shawnee State’s 2023 Senior Game Design Project made in Unreal 4 by 18 students. 9 programmer and 9 artists. I was on the weapons team working on the player, weapons, and cores with 2 other people. I helped create the movement, and shooting of the player and made the entirety of the guns though my job quickly changed from C++ coding to implementation of my team members code, taking C++ and making their blueprint classes. I created the drop code for all dropped objects, implemented the artists animations for the player, and set up the code to alter the lights in the arena based on the boss’s element.
The Forgotten Mage
A 2D platformer puzzle game with a focus on completing puzzles using a variety of different spells. Open the path by exploring the level, using obstacles, enemies, and your magic to complete puzzles and learn what happened to this lost world.
This is a personal project I recently started working on to practice my Game Development skills and learn more about Unreal. This project was made in Unreal 5 which I hadn’t used prior. I’m primarily learning and using Unreal’s Paper2D for graphics. The game game is still very early in development but it has already taught me a lot about Unreal Development.
