I organized the tasking and design components of our game as the Team Lead. I’m primarily focused on software development and aim to work in Huntsville, Alabama, after I graduate. As a fun fact, I absolutely love to scuba dive.

In this project, I implemented technical features like camera controls and led the art direction. Although I’ve enjoyed art since childhood, I’ve realized I’m a better fit for coding and plan to pursue AI research moving forward.

Creating a "market shift" feature for the game economy was my focus while working on the trade systems and UI. I plan to dive into a full-stack career after graduation. Just for fun, I love to get away from the screen and go rollerblading.
