My core passion is creating new and exciting ways for us to experience games and entertainment. From reimagining how we interact with 3D spaces to building gaming communities, I'm always seeking to push the boundaries of what's possible.
New rendering techniques, second-nature control schemes, and deeper, more intuitive interactions are some of the ways I strive to innovate.
Rendering system that transforms a 3D game setup into authentic pixel art in real-time, eliminating the need for traditional sprite work while enabling modern gameplay mechanics and camera controls.
Transforms any screen into a dynamic window into virtual worlds using head-tracking and device motion, creating an intuitive way to explore 3D spaces that feels like looking through a real window rather than at a screen.
A control scheme that makes complex top-down games naturally playable on mobile by leveraging familiar OS gestures and physics-based movement, eliminating on-screen buttons while enabling precise combat and deep gameplay mechanics.
A uniquely stylized rendering system that creates striking visual experiences by turning voxels into pixel art objects with true perspective 3D.
A narrative+visual system that recreates the magic of classic text adventures through a simulated old-school PC. Players explore a fully-rendered 3D room containing a period-accurate computer, where every keystroke and screen refresh is lovingly simulated to transport them back to the golden age of story gaming.
With a history of filmmaking, performance, and comedy writing, I help users forge deeper connections with digital worlds while providing valuable insights to dev teams.
Created and grew a viral entertainment brand celebrating game worlds through music and comedy. Our original songs and performances have become anthems within gaming communities, featured in games, and used as theme songs by prominent voice actors.
From successful mobile apps to compelling vertical slices, I can transform creative concepts into polished, showcase-ready products.
Published mobile game that challenges players with precise gyroscope-based flight controls. Features competitive leaderboards and monetization, demonstrating full commercial development capabilities alongside innovative control design.
Among 2,000+ competitors, this narrative-driven experience secured a top-12 finish overall and 6th in theme at Brackey's Game Jam 2025. Players navigate a deeply personal story where every environmental interaction shapes narrative outcomes, revealing that sometimes perfect execution can't change the inevitable.
"This is the hidden gem of the jam. You deserve WAY more ratings." - DPU
"I've currently rated 50+ games and this is by far my favorite. This one just hits different!" - Zac Marvin
A vertical slice that reimagines mobile platforming by combining Angry Birds-style touch controls with challenging level design. Features mechanics that create compelling risk-reward decisions while maintaining intuitive mobile gameplay.
Early Android app that creatively combined translation and text-to-speech APIs into a powerful communication tool. Reached over 300,000 downloads and topped the free app charts by making multilingual communication and custom soundboards accessible to all.
A vertical slice demonstrating how classic isometric RPGs can be reimagined for mobile. Features innovative dialogue presentation and intuitive world interaction that earned strong support from hardcore RPG fans.
I turn creative bottlenecks into opportunities for innovation, and build tools that make complex workflows feel effortless.
Built a comprehensive input framework for Unity that accelerates cross-platform game development through an intuitive GUI and professional-grade control presets.
Created an intuitive color palette system for Aseprite that generates natural color variations through intelligent color math.
Built a specialized editing tool that takes the pain out of converting long videos into multiple short-form clips for social media.
From filmmaking to software engineering, my multidisciplinary background combines technical expertise with creative storytelling. This unique intersection enables me to approach projects with concise systematic thinking and wide artistic vision.
