Hi! I'm currently a Software Development Engineer at Amazon Web Services based in Seattle, WA. I have a particular interest in game development, full stack web development, cloud infrastructure, and artificial intelligence.
During my time at UC Santa Cruz, I majored in Computer Science with a focus in Game Design. My education covered a wide range of applicable technologies such as distributed systems, web development, artificial intelligence, and procedural content generation. I also learned the fundamentals of game development through building several games using tools from Game Maker Studio to Unity. My senior capstone game, Kleptonaut, won the Grand Prize at the 2018 Sammy Showcase, an event showcasing all 26 senior games made at UC Santa Cruz.
Since graduation, I returned to Amazon full time and continue to build my career in full stack development and cloud-based technologies. I worked in Prime for over two years, working on a number of projects to improve marketer efficiency with global reach in 10+ countries and marketers worldwide. Since then, I switched my interests to be a part of the AWS Global Services Security org to start a security focused role within AWS, designing and building products to ensure secure operations with AWS partners.
