I'm an interactive media developer living in Chicago. Work I do includes programming web games in ActionScript 3/Flash, using JavaScript in webpages, writing Python for both client and server applications, building iPhone games using Lua/Corona SDK, and multiplatform development using Unity.

I work for Synapse Games. I also teach at schools such as the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Columbia College.
