About Me
Technical Skills
I have intimately familiarized myself with Godot over the course of developing multiple games of different genres.
I began developing games in this software years ago, and am familiar with its features and capabilities.
I learned the basics of Unreal Engine by creating a simple FPS demo, and hope to become more proficient with its tools in the future.
I have honed my HTML skills by creating multiple websites for different academic and personal projects.
I have honed my CSS skills by creating multiple websites for different academic and personal projects.
I have honed my JavaScript skills over the course of creating multiple websites for different academic and personal projects.
I learned C as my first ever programming language, and have honed my skills in the language over the course of 3 years of project development and practice.
I learned C++ as an extension to C. As the primary language used in Unreal and Unity, I have become familiar with developing scripts for games in the language.
I learned Python for a Data Structures course, and have developed multiple projects in the language, allowing me to become familiar with the language's features.
I learned Java in an Object Oriented Programming class, and have since furthered my knowledge of the language with practice projects online.
I have been using Photoshop for many years, and have become incredibly familiar with its capabilities, and continue to hone my skills with frequent use.
I have been using Premiere as my primary video editing software for many years, and have become deeply familiar with the tools at my disposal.
Projects
Timed Thief is a game created during a 24 hour hackathon by me and a group of friends. It was all of our first times using Godot. It is a very simple, time-based 2D platformer that you can play now by downloading on itch.io! Just click on the logo to go check it out!
The Lottery Purchase System (LPS) was developed by me and a friend for our Software Engineering final project. It was developed on replit, where you can view the finished product, as well as the source code and DevLog!
Slice of the Sky is a game I've been passionately developing throughout this year. Currently in Pre-Alpha, it's a work in progress that I'm continuously refining towards a 1.0 release. Click here to check out the itch.io page and give it a shot!
System Hopper is a GB Studio developed platformer that utilizes gravity as a primary gameplay factor. The demo is available now on my itch.io page, and I am continuing to develop and improve the game over time. Check it out by clicking the image!
