I'm a Northeatern graduate with a BS in computer science and game development. I was inspired to become a software developer from the wonder I had while playing video games growing up. I wanted to know how these worlds came to life. The iterative process of building software from concept to completion provides me with immense satisfaciton and purpose. I love watching what I build come to life by seeing people interact with it. Whether they're enjoying a game I've made. Or using a tool I made that solves a problem they have freeing them up to work on more imporant and complex problems. My best work is done in the context of working with others. Being in an environment where multiple perspectives can come together enhances the problem solving process and expands my creativity. I see myself and other come up with ideas we may never have thought of without a different perspective. The end result is made better by containing the best of us.
September 2019 - May 2024
I chose to go to Northeastern University because I wanted to have a strong foundation in both computer science and game development. I was able to achieve that goal, from challenging and instructive course work and internships.
Classes: Classes: Networks & Distributed Systems, Fundamentals of Software Engineering, Data Science Programming, Computer Systems, Algorithms & Data, Object-Oriented Design, Programming in C++.
Classes: Classes: Game Studio, Game Concept Development, Game Design Capstone, Computer Graphics, Game Interface Design, Game AI, Building Game Engines, Game Programming, Level Design, Math Fundamentals for Games, Rapid Idea Prototyping for Games.
September 2025 - Current
I chose to take the boot.dev course because I wanted to re up on some foundational concepts like memory management and data structures as well as learn about some industry standard technologies that I wasn't taught during my time at Northeastern. Including Docker, SQL, Kubernetes and the Go programming language.
Classes: Learn Go, Memory Management in C, Data Structures and Algorithms in Python, Functional Programming in Python.
