• Founder / Director

  • Oct 2015 - Present

  I founded Luckshot Games in 2015 to make experimental, charming, and polished games. Sausage Sports Club- a physics game about adorable floppy, animals playing sports- was my first release on Nintendo Switch™ and Steam in July 2018. I did all the design, art, and programming in the game and also all the bizdev and marketing that allowed its success. In 2021 I left a full-time position to focus on a new bigger, more exciting project. I founded Luckshot Games in 2015 to make experimental, charming, and polished games.

• Senior Gameplay Programmer

  • Mar 2020 - Feb 2021

  Most of my work can be lumped under 'problem solving' but day to day that can jump between design, programming, art, writing, and production across various projects. As needed, I take ownership of projects, updates, and features and help guide them through to ship. Otherwise I'm pitching exciting (and scope compatible) designs then running them through from prototype to a shippable end result.
