A multidisciplinary game developer with a passion for technical art, my love is working with computer graphics both at work and home.  I’ve worked to become a fully integrated solution to difficult game development challenges for my team, with work often involving start to end implementation of key game features.   From asset conceptualization through to final product, I often work on tools, application code, engine programming, team mentoring, and pipeline development.
