Do game design students dream of electric jobs?
Hi, my name is Alex. I'm a full time student eagerly working my way towards a job in the game development industry. Student at Lake Washington Technical University, I am currently rounding my skills as much as possible before approaching my dream companies for a foot in the door of the industry. My focus right now is Unity development in C# with a specialization in agile production management. My ultimate goal is to be able to coordinate a team of peers to engineer and develop games, using the most effective tools for design docs, best practices in project management, communication, and scheduling. I am also a writer, photographer, content creator and Twitch streamer. Take a look at my instagram for photography, as the gallery here will be reserved for current Lighting, Effects, UX and 3D modeling projects.

Mesh Generation in Unity
This is a short script that I wrote that displays triangles in a mesh with variance. This creates a terrain like effect.
AI Navmesh in Unity
This is a Unity build that I made for teaching myself AI Navmesh. The player agent uses a ScreenPointToRay function and enemy AI tracks the location of the player, while looking for proximity. There is a waypoint system implemented to give the player a feeling of patrols to watch out for.

Hosted and organized community events in the Warframe Twitch.tv community. The last 'Lunaro isn't dead -- Community Tourney' boasted 10 teams of three facing off in front of 600+ viewers for 10,000 units of premium currency in Warframe.

Agile Works
Project Management
I have found a need (especially at the academic level) for a better way for students and designers to communicate with eachother and avoid redundancy on the various projects that I have managed. I am proficient in Trello and have experience with version control software such as GitHub.
Coming Soon
Project in Production
I am currently working on my first team project that can be qualified in the 'production' phase. I am unable give details as of yet, but level design is in full swing, and we will have more to report soon!
