A more personal look
Video games have always been a source of happiness for me and making them is no different. I have played video games every since I can remember and I always loved dissecting them and learning how they worked with either glitches, exploits or testing of my own. Making games feels like a natural extension of what I have done throughout my entire life and because of that I thoroughly enjoy every aspect of game development.
My programming skillset is ever growing and my game and software development tool set is ever expanding. Starting out as a simple terminal C++ application programmer in college. I quickly learned Unity development in C# only a year after barely learning to program. Shortly after that I adopted the skills necessary to model, texture, rig and animate using Maya and Photoshop.
In less than a year and a half after being introduced to C# I was asked by the San Diego District Attorney to help with a small game development project (Life Map). Only half a year after that I landed my first job as a contractor and at Namazu Studios where I supported with around 4 projects. Currently I work at Spectar as a core developer for their app which uses Unity and HoloLens to create AR tools for construction workers.
I have consistently put my heart and soul on all of the projects I have been involved in and I plan on continuing to do so wherever I work.
