Feel free to connect with me on my LinkedIn, I'm available to do some work!
I worked as a software engineer at AWS before pursuing a career in the game industry! I've always loved playing and watching others play games, so it's awesome to be able to work on projects that bring people so much joy :)
A core memory of mine will always be shooting the ⭐ stars ⭐ in Mario Galaxy while playing with my Dad. I hope someday my work can help cultivate that same feeling in the people who play games I contribute to.

A promotion working on the same unreleased Burbank project at Midsummer! Further fleshed out the new interaction system I created from scratch with the 5.6 Unreal Engine upgrade. Worked alot with Unreal Engine Gameplay State Trees, Smart Objects, and EQS Querying.
I worked in a fast-paced startup environment with a tight-knit group of amazing people while learning Unreal Engine on Project Burbank.
Owned several core gameplay systems like Mood, Interactions, Character AI behavior, Weather, Pickups, Character Objectives, Character Experience, Cost/Reward Modifiers, Doorways that manage character entrances and exits in a scene, as well Character Confessionals using proprietary software and Flow Graph.
I created a number of ImGui tools that helped reduce manual testing time for QA.
I've also designed and animated core UI screens and HUD elements using Common UI.
Provided the plush known as the "Wisdom Owl" for in studio use.
I worked at AWS on the EC2 Edge Outpost team. Outposts supplies infrastructure to businesses who want on-premises AWS services to reduce latency and fulfill data security requirements. Some notable public customers of the Outposts team are the Nasdaq, FanDuel, Riot - Valorant (who now uses Local Zones, a sister team).
I developed an automated testing stack using AWS CloudFormation to execute custom Bash scripts to heavily reduce manual test efforts. I implemented a Route Table Compaction Log that was part of a bigger initiative to enable partial updates to Outpost hardware making message processing up to 25% faster for customers.
Created a Kibana plugin using React to help visualize unusual login activity over a network. I also converted an exiting web application to VueJS and added robust data filtering and front end presentation for data analysts to use.
Greatly reduced the computation time of object detection evaluation metrics by redesigning Docker containers on project Vortex. Utilized Javascript and later AngularJS to improve the user interface of docker container manipulation for researchers.
