Summary
A recent graduate from Eastern Kentucky University, I got into computer science from a young age through the desire of becoming a video game developer. As such, I have focused most of my efforts into Interactive Multimedia and Software Development. I worked as a peer tutor for the Computer Science Department at EKU, and I have been in the position of President of the EKU Game & Dev Club. I have spoken to and shared my ideas and thought processes in the realm of Software Development with a multitude of my peers throughout of time at college.

Notable Projects
Boil n' Bubble
A long term game development project that was originally a capstone project with two other students, in which i was the primary programmer and project lead. After the capstone class, I have continued to work on the game independently. Boil n' Bubble is a 3D Alchemy Exploration game in which you explore a newly found wilderness and discover various ingredients and their uses through your own testing and experimentation. The game is made in the Godot Engine, using python as its primary language. Other exernal programs include Blender and Aseprite.
Calendar Management System
A project for my Ethics and Software Engineering class, I collaborated with two other students to create a Calendar and Meeting Management System, in which an employee in the system can define their availability, and a manager can schedule meetings using their employees' availability. This project was made using C#, the .NET framework, and MySQL. My contributions to the project include interface design, navigating the client-side program, and contacting a school-owned database to verify login information.
