I am a software engineer with experience in web applications, game development, and scalable systems. I use tools such as Unity, .NET, OpenGL, network sockets, and SQL for some of my major projects. My most proficient programming languages are C#, C++, and Java.
Education: Computer Engineer at Hofstra University
I have experience with C#, C++, Java, SQL, ASP.NET, PHP, JavaScript, Python, AutoHotkey, SourcePawn, and Lua.
Level design has been a hobby of mine for many years now. I started out using Valve Hammer Editor in 2008 and more recently I have been using other editors such as Unity, Starcraft 2 Galaxy Editor, and GtkRadiant.
Turbo Force is a futuristic racing game with an advanced track editor created with Unity engine. The track editor allows users to create and manipulate tracks with Bézier curves. The game also features high speed, intense gameplay similar to games of the F-Zero franchise.
This is a map created with Starcraft 2's Galaxy Editor. The objective of this map is to create unit spawning buildings to defeat hoards of enemy units. There are also player controlled heroes and challenging boss fights. This map received much popularity after I created a promotional video and featured it on the website, SC2Mapster.
Utopia is a map created with Hammer for Team Fortress 2 and later ported into Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. It uses a unique gamemode called "surf" where players slide on ramps to build up speed and launch themselves over obstacles. Much care was taken in making this map accessible and fun for as many players as possible. As a result, the map became the most popular surf map ever created and is still played by hundreds of players daily (GameTracker stats).
