Education

B.Sc in Computer Game Development
DePaul University

I’m a software engineer specializing in real-time simulation and interactive systems, working primarily in C++ and C#. I’ve worked on simulation and gameplay systems, engine-level features, developer tools, and VR training applications. I care about performance, clean architecture, and building software that’s easy to maintain. I especially enjoy working on the systems, graphics, and tools that make interactive experiences possible.
