ABOUT ME
A developerQA background. I started in QA, moved into programming, and kept the habit of chasing down what’s actually wrong.
VR and multiplayer are where I’m most at home. I enjoy figuring out why one player sees something different, why a headset is struggling, or why a service integration stops just short of working.
I also work with AI tools and integrations, including a Stable Diffusion image bridge for Unreal. I’m open to software roles and freelance projects beyond games, too.
