Aspiring gameplay programmer with a strong foundation in computer science.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I'm a dedicated and passionate gameplay programmer currently pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science with a Mathematics Minor at Bethune-Cookman University. With a GPA of 3.83, I have honed my skills in various programming languages and game development tools, including Unity and Unreal Engine. My experience as a Gameplay Programmer Intern at the Air Force Research Laboratory allowed me to significantly enhance gameplay mechanics and user interface design, contributing to a 60% expansion of the offensive arsenal in our projects.
In addition to my internship, I have engaged in cryptography research at the University of South Florida, where I explored advanced encryption methods and collaborated on open-source cryptographic libraries. My projects, such as Brawler’s Paradise and Sandy Smash Showdown, showcase my ability to create immersive gaming experiences, integrating complex systems and user-friendly designs. I am eager to leverage my technical skills and creativity in a dynamic team environment.
