What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an internship where I can build game features and help with frontend/backend scripting, learn from experienced developers, and ship polished gameplay and systems with strong engineering practices.

I’m a highly motivated computer science student with a clear focus on game development and game programming, and I enjoy turning ideas into working systems. I bring a strong foundation in software engineering, object-oriented design, and hands-on building through coursework and team projects.

In my full-stack experience, I collaborated to build a restaurant reservation platform with AWS, MySQL, HTML, and Java. I developed the complete customer-facing frontend UI and implemented backend reservation logic with a database schema to support both booking and account-driven workflows.

I also build gameplay and simulations: I created a Java-based autonomous robot simulation with line-following navigation, object detection logic, and decision-making algorithms using OOP principles. More recently, I worked on 2D/3D projects in Godot and used GDscript for core systems like movement, collisions, and health/UI mechanics, plus camera controls and texture mapping in a 3D environment.

My goal is to keep improving how I engineer interactive experiences—whether that’s gameplay systems, graphics, or the frontend/backend infrastructure around them. I’m excited to join a team where I can contribute quickly, learn industry best practices, and ship results I can be proud of.
