Game Development

Playing video games has always been one of my all time favorite hobbies in my life. Needless to say, as soon as I had a firm grasp on programming and 3D modeling, the first thing I did was dive into the world of video game creation.

My preferred engine of choice is Unreal Engine 5, a modern and feature-filled game engine capable of powering the most cutting edge games of today. In my spare time, I enjoy working on my hobby game that you can purchase using the link below! I've also developed a few marketplace assets for others to use and have helped my customers integrate features into their games when they needed assistance.

Music Production

Music brings personality and emotion into your life like no other artistic medium can. My family is incredibly diverse, so growing up I was exposed to nearly every corner of the music world possible.

All this influence in music pushed me to want to compose and produce my own music that would allow me to express myself in my own unique style. I played some band and orchestra early on in my life but these days I focus on keyboard/piano as it is an incredibly versatile instrument and is also used as a MIDI controller in modern music DAWs.

My close friends and some enthusiastic musicians I've been lucky to meet have asked me to help produce beats and mix/master tracks for them. I also sell/stream my own original music on most streaming platforms!

Web Design and Development

I've been a hobbyist web developer and designer since my freshman year of high school (2009), and have been working professionally coding websites since 2019, creating a handful of websites for local businesses and individuals in the Quad Cities (Davenport, Iowa) area.

I used to do professional website work and website hosting for businesses, however I've made the difficult decision to end my web services to spend more time with my family and prioritize other hobbies.
