Experience

Web technologies

I've worked on many websites ranging from simple small business pages, with a contact form, to pages with scheduling and email integrations, to full blown ecommerce sites including providing membership subscriptions.

I've extended my expertise to the newest serverless tech stacks. Mostly working with the Google Cloud Platform, and implementing Firestore and Flask backends, with Bootstrap 5 frontends.

I'm familiar with modeling ,texturing and smart materials, animation, level design, and of course programming.

Game Development

I've taken dozens of courses on game developement, and programing in general.

I have taught my self almost every aspect of game development, as well as taken many courses through Udemy, gamedev.tv, and countless books, tutorials, and experimentation.

I have also worked as a specialist in computer repair, installation, and upgrades for the last decade. My experience has allowed me to gain a solid understanding of how systems work together and provided me with a vast knowledge base of technology.

My experience with the creation of software for many platforms would enable me to successfully contribute to the design and implementation of any aspect of game development.a

Soft skills and personal responsibility
Working through puzzles in Ocarana of Time, Prince of Persia, and challenging jrpg battles was a favorite pastime in my family, and I feel games can bring people together, as well as helping people learn, and develop new skills.

I keep up to date on current technological trends in my field, and consistently find myself new hobbies to learning new skills. I enjoy the challenge of learning new things, and have found that my passion for technology has helped me to stay up to date, and propelled me through my career.

After serving five years in the Marine Corps, where I worked on radio and telecommunications systems, as well as starting my college education in software development, I retired as a Sergeant. I continued my education and completed my bachelors in information systems and cybersecurity. I excelled as a student, and after impressing many of my professors with my work ethic, preparedness, and ability to absorb new concepts, I began to work with many of them, starting my career as an I.T. contractor. I began my career as an IT adjunct professor the semester after graduating, as a result of voluntarily giving classes to newer students, and discussing career opportunities with the IT chair, and Dean of the school.

I created and implemented multiple instructional programs designed to educate students in a variety of IT related matters including:

Computer hardware & software (web and desktop applications)
Networking technologies and configurations
Security and privacy issues Data and information management
Domain and systems infrastructure
