I am an audio programmer with a passion for creating immersive and realistic audio environments for video games. As a graduate of DigiPen Institute of Technology, I have led multiple technical projects involving multidisciplinary teams. I have 5 years of experience with C and C++ programming languages and am well equipped to engage with software development at a professional level. As a veteran with over a decade of military aviation training, I have extensive experience working in ever-evolving teams under tight timelines in high-pressure situations. My expertise with military equipment allows me to understand exactly what end users are looking for because I have been the one to rely on that hardware in the field. Lessons learned in both my formal education and my real-world training have primed me to be an efficient communicator who is constantly learning and eager to solve whatever problems are set in front of me.
