Introduction
Biography
I am a Game Designer with Programming and Filmmaking experience. I specialize in Advanced Level Scripting, Gameplay Programming, Level Construction, System Design, Traditional Game Design, Interactive Storytelling and Design Documentation.
I studied Interactive Media, Computer Science and Cinema-Television in the University of Southern California. I studied Digital Game Development with a specialization in Level Design in The Guildhall at Southern Methodist University. I worked at THQ as a Product Development Intern on UFC 2009 Undisputed and at id Software as an Associate Technical Designer on DOOM 4. I also have considerable experience as an Indie Game Developer, having designed and programmed 2 games which placed in the Indie Game Challenge: SONAR (one of 12 Semi-Finalists in 2010, Non-Professional category) and Inertia (the $100,000 Grand Prize Winner in 2011, Non-Professional category).
I am passionate about video game development because it challenges me to utilize my creativity and technical skills. I am always looking for opportunities to create fun and interesting games.
