About me

ABOUT ME

Education

Raised in Southern California with a supportive family, I have always have a strive to overcome many problems where many were convinced it can not be solved. I am the person all management look for to improve not only work progress, but working environment and the bond of all employees.

I love the video game life, raised with it ever since I was a child in the late 90's. Now in my 20s, my passion has only cemented by not only playing games, but to also understand and appreciate the behind the scenes of games.

Education

Norco College (2022 - Current)

Currently, I am continuing my pursuit for knowledge by perusing my second degree at Norco College. I am completing Game Development to help me understand the visual and audio side in development.

My time here has been eventful, with the help of professors and other students, I have founded the Social Game Club, a safe space for any students to play not just video games, but board games and card games. I was also voted into presidency by faculty and students to help lead and evolve this club

This club was created to link all students and faculty in the game program to build bonds an network outside of school. Currently, the club is in the process to branch out and create a development club and partner with the already existing E-Sports Club.

Henry J Kaiser High School
(2010 - 2014)

The Art Institute (2014 - 2018)

I graduated from the Art Institute of California with a Bachelors of Computer Science majoring in Game Programming.

During my school life, I was voted multiple times to become the team lead projects thanks to my natural leadership skill and my flexibility to understand different roles into producing a game. When I was not the team lead, I was put in roles with that opened the doors into the cycle of game development. Being in the Game Wizards Club expanded my skills as I worked along side other groups to add onto our ideas. Using the Unity and Unreal's Game Engine, I have made games that all range form PC, Android, Oculus VR, and AR.

During my senior year, the school introduced its first class which featured the development cycle in video games. This class was one of the first in the school district and while many students wanted to attend this class, only those with a high enough grade can attend.

As a student, this class poured fuel into my passion for getting into the industry. I learned how to use, the now outdated, Adobe Flash and how to animate using skeletos and sprites.

Work Experience

Amazon (2019 - Current)

At amazon, I started as many other starting in the company. Having a healthy body, I can work multiple positions, which means walking over 30 miles per day as a picker, loading trailers with no assistance, and packing.

Over time, I became a learning ambassador and trained new employees, cross train, and also trained new ambassadors.

Upper management noticed the departments I work for has an increase of productivity, reaching quota in a more rapid manner. I was entrusted to lead an always changing team to execute projects. I proved my skills in leadership by not only successfully accomplishing tasks, but also documenting and going beyond the set goal. I now give my input into projects management have created to avoid unsatisfactory results and to highlight strong associates.

Target (2018 - 2019)

Target was a great opportunity to learn the thoughts of consumers. I worked in the electronics department selling televisions, movies, computers, and games. Making a lasting impression to many customers, I was requested multiple times to assist them in teaching them products before a purchase. Vendors also approached me to give them insight on what consumers are buying.

Management gave me the responsibility to plan and redo isles to sell back stock and products that were no longer needed. My strategy always was a success in selling out every product by helping adjusting the price and where it should be placed on an isle.

Having to open Black Friday alone was big challenge for me. Having hundreds of customers lining outside, I knew running my department alone will lead to failure. I partnered with management to plan how I can run electronic, and with two more co-workers, I survived Black Friday.
