builds the systems behind the game.

Computer Science student at UCF with a passion for game development and software — I like the layer just underneath the fun part: client–server sync, save systems, hitboxes, and the state machines that hold a game together.

About

I'm a Computer Science student at the University of Central Florida, building a foundation in modular software architecture, complex state management, and full-stack systems development. Outside of coursework, most of my hands-on learning happens in Roblox Studio, where I get to design and ship complete multiplayer systems — from combat networking to persistent save data — end to end.

I'm driven by technical innovation with a customer-centric mindset: I care about optimizing system performance, writing clean code, and delivering solutions that actually hold up when real players (or real customers) are using them.
