BIO<\/span><\/h1>\n

I was born in Miramar, Florida and am currently attending Florida Polytechnic University. I like to think of myself as very artistically minded, since I dabble in a lot of different artistic areas, both 2D and 3D, as well as in other forms of art: I like to draw digitally, create music, and 3d model a bit in my free time, as well as play video games to entertain myself. I also work on side projects such as a webcomic as a direct way to express my ideas. Doing all of this creative work across multiple mediums can have its drawbacks: I will not lie that in my efforts I can often find myself biting off more than I can chew, but I don\u2019t see this as much of a draw back: I like to be ambitious about the things I create, and find the creative process of solving an initially unsolvable problem to be greatly rewarding.<\/span><\/p>\n

CAREER SUMMARY<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

I plan to, when I leave college, become a video game designer, specifically a technical artist. Technical artists are a type all-purpose designer that can both program and model\/animate elements for a video game. I already have experience in not only modeling and animating 3D computer generated models, but also.the pipeline involved in game design: During my time at the DAVE School – a technical college for digital vfx and video game design – we worked in an environment similar to the typical game studio environment, working and collaborating with each other on four\u00a0 projects over the course of three months at a time to create interesting and varied game environments, understand the basics and necessities of 3d modeling, and rigging and animating characters and objects. The programs we used were Unreal Engine 4\/5, Maya, and Blender, all industry standard products.During my time here at Florida Polytechnic university, I hope to expand my range of skills to some of the major programming languages, as well further improve upon the ones I already have. I already have taken a class in learning how to program in C, and have experience in programming in a language for a passion project. The language is based on JavaScript, C++ and C#, which will hopefully allow me to successfully transfer that knowledge into those should they come up in my future studies at the university.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
