1-MAN-ARMY

I am a self driven multi-skilled individual with an extensive background of laboratory practices, informational technology, 3D works, and entrepreneurship. I possess an arsenal of technical skills in multiple disciplines that contribute to Quality Control/ Assurance, on-site and remote Support, Project Planning, and more. I can provide visual inspections , microbial monitoring, blueprint to 3D asset creation, 3dimensional simulations, coded behaviors, software development, chemical analysis, and computer repairs. I am a go-getter with a natural niche for detail, innovation, system optimizations and teaching.

EDUCATION

Location: Art Institute of California, San Francisco

Degree: Game Art and Game Design, Bachelors of Art (unlawfully incomplete: Exhibit C of the Sweet v. Cardona Settlement)

Period : June 2011-2012, November 2014 - April 2015

Summary:

After an unlawful promise of G.E. fulfillment prior to enrollment, I completed the entire curriculum but was then forced to take General Educations despite having a Bachelor's of Science.

This program consisted of traditional 2D drawings in various mediums: watercolor, charcoal, and lead-in orthographic and measured perspective techniques involving human anatomy and architectural internal design. 3 dimensional works consisted of Hard Surface and Organic Modeling. Hard Surface techniques include the creation of assets by blueprint or other 2D visual references. Organic modeling techniques involve asset creation by concept, anatomical diagrams, imaginative and real world observations. The curriculum's end goal was to focus on the pipeline of game development by providing a foundation that can branch into film, marketing, construction, interior design, jewelry, tool and vehicle manufacturing and other methods of bringing a drawn concept into a 3D representation for entertainment or real world application.

*****************************

Location: University of California, Santa Cruz

Degree: Molecular Cellular Development, Bachelors of Science

Period : September 2008 - June 2010

Summary:

The curriculum focused primarily on the chemistry within Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes at a molecular level from the replication of cells to the electron push diagrams of various cycles within fermentation, fight or flight, viral infections, and other related human physiology while emphasizing techniques and processes used in biotechnology.

***

Location: College of Marin, Kentfield

Degree: None, Concentration in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Transferred to University of California

Period: June 2005 -May 2008

Summary:

A Junior College that provided an outstanding experience in various lab works and industry techniques from Gene splicing and insertion to Electron Para-magnetic Resonance spectroscopy

Team Size: 4 - 8

Prototyped Projects : Stop Hero, Path to Justice, Deer Beans, Fairly Enchanted

Titles: Founder, Chief Executive Officer, Director, Project Manager, Lead 3D Artist (Character, Environment), Teacher.

Summary:

The team consisted primarily of undergraduates soon to graduate within Game Arts or Visual Programming. The primary challenge was teaching each member advance techniques while delegating tasks within a workforce of inconsistent capabilities. Due to financial hardships the team dissolved into a sole proprietorship.

Summary:

I grew tired of hearing of what cannot be done and decided to take on every role in Game Development. Within 1 full year, I taught myself how to code by studying Microsoft C# API References. Spending an additional 6 months experimenting and testing my code knowledge, I decided to strive for the ultimate test. I developed my very first video game - Death Denied - within the next 18 months.
Having learned a lot, I am ready to tackle my dreams in every way possible. I am currently building systems for the next project Kill Crave: Blood Stone Trails.
