About Me
Hi, I'm Jeffrey! My passion for games began at a young age and only grew stronger over the years. In high school, I took my first steps into game development through Mission Bit, where I learned just how fun—and challenging—creating games could be. From that moment, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in game development.
That path led me to Champlain College, where I majored in Game Programming. Over the past four years, I’ve worked on a variety of games in collaborative team environments, honing my technical skills and deepening my appreciation for teamwork and strong work ethic. I love bringing games to life with others and look forward to continuing that journey in the industry!
