I have been developing games since I was in the 8th grade. In October of 2025, I left my job to pursue a career in game development. Below is a list of games I have worked on recently. All of them were built with Godot as the game engine, Blender/Qubicle as the modeling tools, and Gimp/Pyxel Edit/Material Maker/Krita as the texturing tools.

The Legend of Zelda 3D

A fan remake of the original Legend of Zelda using a unique 3D sprite effect. I have been streaming the creation of this project on YouTube as a resource for those getting into game development. I have built a community of returning viewers who look to me for advice about game development. The viewership per stream ranges from ~20 - ~750 views.

Independent Game Developer

Self Employed

I create games using a wide variety of software tools including but not limited to Godot, Blender, and Gimp. In the span of five months I have worked on three projects.

I worked as the lead developer on a unamed 2-D metroidvania game. This game was a hand-drawn metroidvania with platform fighter combat. It drew inspiration from Hollow Knight, Zelda, Smash Brothers, and Metroid. The project has been put on pause because we have decided to change the concept to a 3-D third-person metroidvania.

- I was also responsible for creating the ECS (Entity Component System) used in the games architecture to ennsure workflow efficiency for the team.
- I am currently responsible for the creation of a GDD (game design document) and prototype for the new 3-D iteration of this game.

ServiceNow Consultant

Oct. 2021 - Oct. 2025

IntegrityPro Consulting LLC.

I was responsible for developing high quality business solutions on the ServiceNow platform for internal projects and client instances. During my employment I worked with four clients. Due to government mandated NDAs (Non-Discolosure Agreements) I am unable to divulge the names of these clients or the intricacies of their implementations.

For "Client 1" I worked as a Mid Developer on the implementation of SPM (Strategic Portfolio Management), CWM (Collaborative Work Management), and a custom portal. Leveraging flow designer, custom portal widgets, and the CWM workspace, we successfully delivered a complete and future proof system to meet the complex business needs of the client.
- Worked in an agile development team. Gaining experience creating, implementing, and testing stories. As well as bringing forward new ideas to ensure a quality product.
For "Client 2" I worked as a Lead Developer on the creation of a custom portal for a client instance. I successfully lead the team to create a landing page, knowledge base, and a custom intake catalog item. We also implemented a custom workflow processor for the intake form that met the business needs of the client.
For "Client 3" I worked as a Consultant on the implementation of SAM Pro (Software Asset Management) for a client instance, gathering requirements and successfully configuring business rules to the clients needs. I also provided in-depth training on the usage of SAM Pro to the client’s software asset administrators. After the training the client was successfully able to complete their workload without guidance and with increased efficiency when compared to previous experience before the implementation.
- Administered user access, roles, and groups to ensure secure and compliant ServiceNow usage.
- Provided end-user training, documentation, and ongoing support to maximize platform adoption and value.
For "Client 4" I worked as a Lead developer on a form digitization effort for a client, gathering requirements on a per form basis to build a system to allow for the digitization of a wide variety of client forms with varying requirements.
- Developed workflows, business rules, client scripts, and UI policies to automate processes and improve efficiency.
For "IntegrityPro Consulting LLC." I worked as a Lead Developer on an internal physical security ServiceNow custom application to consolidate the various applications used by physical security personnel into a single web portal.
- Participated in upgrades, patching, and testing to maintain platform stability and performance.
- Development was focused on the service portal and gave me a solid foundation for custom portals, custom widgets, scoped apps, third party integrations, and even ServiceNow’s Mobile Studio to create custom mobile experiences for a scoped app.
