About Me

In 2015, I graduated from the University of Akron with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a minor degree in Entrepreneurship.

I worked as an embedded software engineer intern and test engineer intern at Rockwell Automation during the summers of my college career, and I successfully paid off my college loans. The extra money I had saved up has allowed me to work independently ever since.

In 2019, I released my first commercial project, BOMBFEST, with a small team of collaborators. Since then, I have been pursuing future projects and contract work.

I am an active member of my church community, and I facilitate bible studies weekly. My faith is incredibly valuable to me, and I hope to be a blessing to anyone God brings into my life.

My goals include opening a game development studio, working on more commercial projects, and growing a self-supporting community of creative and motivated individuals.
