(DigiPen program)

Graduated 2006

Passed the AP Computer Science test.

Was *Most Employable Student* in the DigiPen program for February 2005.

Worked on multiple games, including *Drift* and *Creature Wars*

Other Experience

Participated in the prototyping phase of the Tetris Design Challenge (2009), writing the board/gameplay logic for *Elemental Tetris*.

Created the site http://www.vacuumtubegames.com/http://www.vacuumtubegames.com and developed games for it in a mix of Flash and Flex 3. Designed, developed, and created sound/art assets for *Colorsaic*, *Circle Eater*, and *Pong Defense*.

Guest lecturer for COM 597 Fall 2008 at the University of Washington (taught by Prof. Carolina Mello-e-Souza).
