As a double major, I gained experience in both the development and design aspects of video game creation. My senior capstone projects involved developing fully realized video games with teams of 8–10 members over a nine-month period. Through these projects, I developed strong collaboration and communication skills while working in an Agile environment to plan, track, and meet project milestones on schedule.
These projects can be seen in my Other Works section.
Certificates:
Completed a comprehensive course on frontend development, covering HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and modern frameworks. Gained practical experience through hands-on projects and real-world applications.
