About Me
Hi!
I'm an indie game dev and recent graduate! I got my Bachelors in Computer Science and Mathematics from UC Berkeley, and my Masters in Computer Science Game Development from USC, where i was lead engineer for an agp game.
I'm interested in roles where I can apply my engineering knowledge to game dev.
I'm passionate about developing and playing games! Feel free to contact me from any of the links below!
