01. ABOUT_ME

I’m a bootcamp-trained developer who fell in love with coding through games. Right now I’m deep in my first indie title Contraband, a tense river-hauling prototype with dynamic NPC behavior, time-pressure docks, and original adaptive music and artwork.

Based in LA, I’m hungry to join a team as a junior gameplay programmer or Unity dev. I’m always tearing apart mechanics to see what makes them tick.

A deep-dive into classic timing and rotoscoped animation feel. Built a state machine with buffered inputs and frame-accurate hit-stop windows. Added my own flair through custom cutscenes painted in Aseprite.
