WORKS RESUME

About

I'm an avid gamer, productivity enthusiast, and coffee lover currently residing in Las Vegas, NV. When I was eight, my family moved from Guam to the mainland USA where we settled down in Vegas. After attending a tech-focused high school in LV in their 4-year Computer Science program, I decided to pursue additional studies in Computer Science at the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles, CA.

I graduated from USC's Computer Science (Games) program, a joint program between the Viterbi School of Engineering and the School of Cinematic Arts while also taking a specialization in Cyber Security from the Information Technology Program. I worked at several game studios in the LA and OC areas in Southern California: Infinity Ward, Blind Squirrel Games, Respawn Entertainment, and Bonfire Studios.

Why make games?

I found myself drawn to games because they engaged and immersed me like no other medium. I'm a fan of great storytelling and find that narrative-driven games with a good mix of action and adventure are my sweet spot. My ultimate goal is to make a living creating fun, immersive experiences for anyone to enjoy.
