Hi, I'm Jaylon! I'm a Programmer specializing in systems and gameplay. I was introduced to the world of video games in elementary school, and after being enraptured by the special worlds and stories behind the screen, I knew that I wanted to be involved in game design. I've been working toward this dream for almost my whole life all to try and make things that can have a truly positive impact on the lives of others, just like how games impacted me. Although I'm by far the most comfortable with Unity, Java and C# currently, I'm confident in my ability to tackle new problems and expand my skillset and am always eager to learn and develop as a programmer.
