WHO AM I?

I’m currently a student at George Mason University studying Computer Game Design. I grew up in Northern Virginia, and attended Osbourn High School in Manassas. I’ve played video games since I was 5, and I have always been fascinated by the development process. I always wanted to create my own experiences, and often thought of stories and game ideas even before I started programming myself.

GAME DESIGN HISTORY

 In 2020, I began using Clickteam Fusion, a relatively unknown engine that was used to make games such as “Five Night at Freddy’s” and “Baba is You”. I was using it just for experimentation’s sake, but I quickly got attached to the program and released a few short games. Ever since then, my knowledge of Clickteam Fusion went from a hobby to a skill, and I’ve made many projects and games using the software. In addition I have been learning Unreal Engine during college and have familiarized myself with blueprint based coding, though I also have moderate experience with Unity.

MUSIC AND SOUND HISTORY

As a music and sound designer I am familiar with many sound based programs such as FL Studio, LMMS, Audacity, and Beepbox.com to name a few, and have used these programs as tools to add quality music to every project I am a part of.

ANIMATION AND VIDEO EDITING HISTORY

I have taken on learning 2D and 3D animation over the years, using programs such as Piskel.com, 3ds Max, and Blender to create animations and illistrations/3D models to use in my projects. I have additionally been teaching myself how to edit videos using various programs over the span of 4+ years to aid in promotional material for my projects.
