Available to hire
Hello there!
My name is Edward Leon, and I’m a Computer Scientist who focuses on the game development field, but also dabbles with web and software development here and there! On top of that, I have plenty of experience working within teams, whether it be as someone who manages budgets or teaches others, all the way to being a lead developer on some projects.
I’ve worked on larger-scale projects, but am also able to pump out projects within the span of months. All this to say that I can easily help out your team, whether it be filling any gaps, or just developing and keeping pace with everyone else on the team!
