I am a Software Engineering student at Iowa State University, graduating in May 2025, with a strong passion for game development and software design. Initially starting in Aerospace Engineering, I developed foundational skills in Python and MATLAB before pivoting to Software Engineering to pursue my passion for programming and creating interactive experiences.
Over the course of my studies, I have worked on various projects that span solo development and collaborative team efforts, gaining experience in Java, C/C++, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, React, and Unity. My focus has shifted toward game development, where I combine my technical expertise with creativity to build engaging games and interactive software.
Recently, I have been diving deeper into non-Euclidean game mechanics and building custom game engines, along with enhancing my skills in graphics programming and AI systems. I am eager to contribute to innovative projects in the gaming industry, leveraging my diverse technical background and passion for creating immersive experiences.
Non-Euclidean Game Engine & Game Development
Collaborated with a team to design and build a custom non-Euclidean game engine from scratch using C, focusing on innovative spatial mechanics and rendering techniques. Developed a 2D farming game prototype within the engine, featuring non-Euclidean mechanics, light-based gameplay, and suspense elements. My contributions included designing the engine’s core functionality, implementing pathfinding, and integrating graphics and physics systems.
