I'm a dedicated game developer and always strive to enhance my skills. My specialty is level design, with programming being a close second. I have several years of experience working in C#, and I am familiar with other languages such as C++ and Java. I have worked with MonoGame and Microsoft's XNA framework for over 2 years with additional experience in Unity. My favorite games include Nintendo's Mario and Zelda franchises and Bungie's Halo franchise, but I don't prefer older or more recent games; I'll play whatever seems interesting regardless of how good the graphics are. I actively seek out fun games I have yet to play. I am currently working on games in the mobile space.
