About Me

I am a computer science major at UNC Charlotte. I am also a Japanese Minor. Currently, I am completing a few research experience programs at UNC Charlotte. For now, my blog entries will be about those experiences. My research is through a project called Games2Learn. Currently, my roles in the Games2Learn project are Lead Artist and Level Designer. I also do work on the side as Sound Engineer. I've been on the project since Summer 2005 and have always had a strong enthusiasm for video games. Upon graduation, I plan to continue my computer science studies with a concentration in game design and development. Eventually, I'd like to work for a sweet game software company like SquareEnix or Namco.

Skills:

Super sweet DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) Skills. Competent in 3d studio max. Experience with box modeling and NURBS (non uniform rational b-splines). Experience programming in C++/ Java. Scripting in various scripting languages. Musician/Composer (Uses Cakewalk ProAudio, ProTracks, and Acid). Terrible concept artist (getting better!), but able to adequately convey ideas to the more talented artists in the bunch.

Interests: all rhythm simulation games, anime, ddr, dogs, guitar hero, jpop, my hamster.
