About Me
I'm a -year-old gameplay programmer based in Rockville, MD. I specialize in Unreal Engine (C++) and have shipped multiple commercial titles at Dogwood Gaming, where I lead a team of 4 engineers. I hold a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Maryland (2023) and also work with C#/Unity, Rust, and Python. I care about player-facing game feel, tight systems design, and performant, shippable code.
