About

I started teaching myself programming with online Java tutorials when I was 8 years old. In highschool, I moved over to C, later graduating to C++ in my time at DigiPen Institute of Technology. I've been working with teams of 2-9 developers for the past 5 years and produced 4 shipped group projects.

I have proficiency in these technologies:

I am also familiar in these technologies:

NESwitch - WIP

The Door

Solo narrative project following Jacob, a freshman in college who suffers anxiety and PTSD after an armed robbery took place in his early childhood. Players experience four days of his entry into college with his undiagnosed and untreated mental illnesses worsening due to his newfound isolation. The story concludes with Jacob reaching out to his friend, Cat, who supports him in seeking treatment.

Magicards

Spring 2017

Team size: 1

This was a project I made for my 2D game design class at DigiPen. The game is multi-device and cross-platform (Windows and Android for the controllers, Windows is required for the server) and involves up to four players cooperatively defeating every enemy in each level by playing cards from their own customized deck.

Aspen

Summer 2019

2D C++ Class-Based Object Oriented Game Engine built on top of SDL2. It currently has Windows build support through MinGW and features graphics wrappers, built-in player controllers, music and soundeffect playback, input management, event management and handling, gamestate management and creation, physics, and collision detection/resolution.

HardlyCold()

Spring 2018

Created for Ludum Dare 41 with the theme "Combine 2 Incompatible Genres." I decided to create a mix of real-time stealth/puzzle games and more methodical programming/shell simulators.

Pocket World

Spring 2017

Created for Ludum Dare 38 with the theme "It's a Small World." Pocket World is a Gameboy inspired sandbox "walking simulator" with all of the original system's limitations with 4 colors at a resolution of 160x144. Many parts of the environment are destructable, rewarding item drops that can be used to "craft" more chunks of the world to explore. Characters provide quests to the player that allow trading of common items for rarer ones with the eventual goal being a completed map.
I created the game's dialogue system from scratch to support a custom, simplistic scripting style to allow for rapid prototyping, iteration, and the potential of light modding. More information is on the download page.

SpriteTools

Summer 2016 - Fall 2017

A C/C++ homebrew library for the Nintendo 3DS. Originally created as a wrapper for the SF2D library, it expanded to gain support for animations, cameras, collision, text, and more. Support was dropped after SF2D became depricated.

Game of Life²

Spring 2016

This game was made for the LowRezJam. The challenge was to make a game with the size of 64 pixels by 64 pixels, but I took it a step further and went with only 32 pixels by 32 pixels. At times, it was a struggle - no actually, most of the time it was a struggle.
Inspired by Conway's Game of Life, this gamifies the concept by creating different types of cells that perform unique tasks. Harvesters grant points, Farmers make food, Defenders protect your colony, and Enemies can invade at later stages.

Colored Ninjas

Spring 2014

My first gamejam entry for Ludum Dare 31 for the theme "Entire Game on One Screen." I decided to interpret the "One Screen" as the player's monitor, so the camera is manually controlled by dragging the window around your screen.
