  • About

    I am the lead game designer, developer, and co-founder of Hot Chocolate Games, LLC. Founded in 2017, we released our first game, Grobo, for iOS and Android on October 10, 2019. I love both game design (specifically level and mechanics design) and programming, and was the lead for both on Grobo. I majored in Game Design and Development with a minor in Japanese Language and Culture at the Rochester Institute of Technology. I've made plenty of other projects in school and on my own. I tend towards strategic games like tactics, puzzles, 4X, and strategy games, but I also love a great story with dynamic characters, so role-playing games also speak to me. I've studied and worked on both digital and non-digital games giving me a wide range of experience as aspects of one can easily be carried into another. I typically use C# and nowadays Unity, but have experience in Java and JavaScript/HTML5/CSS.

      Hot Chocolate Games
      Aug 2017 - Present (8 years 10 months)
      As a co-founder of an indie studio like Hot Chocolate Games, I wear many hats. I am mainly the lead game designer, but am also a major developer. For our most recent project, Grobo, I was lead developer, project manager, and narrative designer in addition to my main role as lead game designer. I draw up design documents, create levels, design mechanics, implement features, lead meetings, and create project road maps. As needed, I write narrative, handle social media and promotional events, and blog.

      I was an instructor for four one-week courses of 7-8 children from the ages 7-17 teaching the core concepts of game design and Java programming. I taught the foundations and basics of both of these, which culminated into each student completing a fully functional project by the end of each course.
