About Me

Game Design and System Development

Hi! I'm Josh, and I am a Game Developer located around Philadelphia. I graduated from RIT with a degree in Game Design and Development in December 2024, and I have been programming and working with game engines in both an educational and personal setting for over 8 years. I have many experiences leading teams through developing games and have excelled at my classes at RIT, where instead of simply being content with the skills I had, I constantly challenged myself to go above and beyond.

My introduction to programming was during 2015 through making mods for games such as Minecraft and Terraria, and I was able to teach myself the basics of languages such as Java and C++. Since then I have learned even more languages, such as C#, HTML, JavaScript, and GLSL. I have also become very proficient with the Unity and Unreal engines, as well as a plethora of other tools. If you have any questions or want to get to know me better, feel free to contact me!
