Skills and background

I care about clean systems, readable collaboration, and getting the build over the finish line.

I like the whole game.

I started with Unity and C# at 17, shipping two games in three months. Since then I have worked across gameplay, networking, VR, lighting, audio, builds, and optimization.

I enjoy difficult technical problems, but I care just as much about communication, polish, and helping a team make something that feels good to play.
