I’m a software engineering graduate with a background in game development, team leadership, and hands-on field work. I blend programming, sound, and emotion to quietly immerse players and craft experiences that feel human. I value humility, craft, and curiosity, and I’m seeking a team that values thoughtful design and meaningful storytelling. I’m driven by the idea that great work speaks for itself and that tech is a tool to connect people.
