About Me
I’m a Gameplay Engineer currently pursuing an M.S. in Computer Science – Game Development at USC after completing my B.S. in Computer Science with a Game Development Emphasis at the University of Utah.
I enjoy building gameplay systems, combat mechanics, and enemy AI using C++ and C#, with experience in Unreal Engine 5 and Unity. Through interdisciplinary game projects, I’ve developed, tested, debugged, and integrated gameplay systems in collaborative development environments.
My broader experience includes software engineering, AI, robotics, computer graphics, and technical media. I’m currently seeking Summer 2027 internship opportunities across game development, software engineering, technical media, and related technical fields.
