Honors & Awards

  • 2nd place in Company Game Jam

    Hibernum

    I was part of three person team alongside a junior programmer and a game designer/economist.

    In 2.5 days, we built a turret defense game that ran on Windows PC, Mac OS, iOS and Android.

    - Wrote and designed the base classes for the game
    - Implemented a Data Driven Design, which allowed the game designer to add or modify most AI or player functionality without needing a programmer.
