I am 28 years old living in Corona, CA working at a small tech startup called Exponential Corp on their flagship product, a gaming mobile app called TallyUp. Previously, I was getting my masters in game design and development from RIT in Rochester, NY. Other places I have worked are HP as a fullstack software engineer and at Amplify on games for early readers. I graduated from Washington State University in 2014 with a BS in Math and a minor in Computer Science. While in school as an undergraduate I was both a TA and had an internship with Schweitzer Engineering Labs, a electrical engineering company that supports most of the technology around power grid systems.
