Hello and welcome to my website! I am game designer and VR developer who resides in the San Francisco Bay area.
I graduated from the Academy of Art University with a Bachelor's of Fine Arts with a focus on Game Design.
My main interests are 3D Virtual Experiences, specifically mixed reality applications(AR, VR). I co-founded a mobile game company before graduating college. I have over 8 years experience in the game industry and utilize that to help create an environment where hard work and passion are focused toward designing and creating awesome content.
As a former contractor for Sony Interactive Entertainment America at PlayStation's research and development department I have much experience prototyping applications using newly emerging technology.
My development skills include: Unity using C# programming language, iOS and Android including mixed reality, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift & Quest, Windows Universal Platform, UE4.
I am familiar with Slack, Trello, Podio, Version Control Software including Git,BitBucket,Perforce,SVN,SourceTree.
I am very comfortable working with teams and using an agile approach to improve upon communication, iteration, and organization. Currently I am Self Employed and working remotely but I am open to considering positions in the San Francisco bay area contract/full-time/part-time.
