I have worked in game development since graduating from the University of Chicago in 2016. In that time I have worked on a variety of systems and skills that span the development stack. In my most recent project I worked on both the server-side and front end of a mobile application. I take pride in the efficiency and clarity of my work no matter the size of the project. When not at my desk, I enjoy camping, hiking, running, board games, woodworking, painting, reading, and writing.
