I make game AI and real-time systems.

I did AI, collision, navigation, and multithreaded programming for Kingmakers at Redemption Road Games. My personal work includes a video game engine made with Vulkan, basically from the ground up.

This is Me.

This is me. Sort of - I mean, I took this photo over six years ago. I just like it.

I have held a variety of jobs! I have been a UPS loader, a bottom-tier commercial fishing boat mate, and a self-employed photographer/videographer. For the past 3 years I worked hard as a video game programmer, and it was the only work I've ever loved. My heart is with video games and engineering software. And food.

Me as a list:

  • I love speedrunning but have never done it
  • Cooking is relaxing. I enjoy prep.
  • I know one good card trick and I'll show it to you if you ask.
  • I enjoy riding my bike long distances, but I need a destination.
  • I'll take sincerity anytime. It's never cringe.
  • My favorite book series is Three Body Problem.
  • Death Stranding is one of my favorite video games.
  • The Wolf Among Us 2 is happening and that makes me happy.
  • Trans rights are human rights.
  • My dogs and my partner are my world.
