I graduated from eastern Michigan university 3 years ago with a degree in computer science. Since then, I have worked on various game projects both in unity and unreal engine, both for 2D and 3D games. I have made tower defense games; platformers 3D souls likes and endless runner. I have programmed these games and some I was a level and combat designer as well as the programmer. I worked in projects that consisted of around 50 people. I would be an asset to any game project I am added to both as a programmer or a designer.…I graduated from eastern Michigan university 3 years ago with a degree in computer science.
