I have a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science: Game Design from the University of California Santa Cruz, and it is my passion to develop and play a variety of games.
Ever since I got a computer as a kid, I have been fascinated with video games, computing, engineering, and simulations. I'm particularly drawn to creating systems that simulate real-world physics and emergent behaviors.
This passion for simulation is what drives many of my projects, from falling sand games to procedural generation.
If you happen to find me outside of NVIM or Visual Studio, my hobbies include raves, anime, gaming, and spending time with friends and family. My favorite genres are sci-fi, space, and magic!

Procedural Generation
Experimented using perlin noise to generate procedural terrain, Worley/Voronoi noise for biome generation, and used real-time generated music to create traversable platforms
Systems Design
Creating core gameplay loops and systems and implementing prototypes in Engines like Unity, Unreal, Godot, and more!
Optimization
Using an IDE to debug and find performance bottlenecks, and utilizing multi-threading, chunk loading, ect.
3D Modelling & Animation
