Who Am I?
I am a senior Game Programming major at Champlain College with a passion for creating immersive and fun video games. My goal is to be part of creating games that inspire and captivate players, just like those that sparked my interest in this career. At Champlain College, I have gained hands-on experience by working on diverse game development projects using Unity and Unreal Engine, where I have created innovative gameplay systems, mechanics, and user interfaces. I am dedicated to learning and collaboration, driving meaningful project contributions. My goal is to engage in developing games, applications, or software that inspire, aid, or captivate, much like those that ignited my career interest.
