_keyboardkommander is a post apocalyptic typing tutor that combines advanced tactics with the fast-paced action of a typing tutor. I have included a link to the latest build below. I was the primary programmer for this project and was responsible for the majority of the code base. I was also the lead designer for this project and designed most of the gameplay systems.

"Excellence in Innovative Narrative" Gamefest 2016

SYNC distinguishes itself by being the first interactive narrative controlled entirely by the players facial expressions. My team worked closely with Affectiva to use an unreleased beta version of their facial recognition software for our game.

Gravi (2021-2022)
Gravi is an intense puzzle-platformer that will test your tolerance for pain. Shoot and swing your way towards victory as Gravi, an adorable blue ball of energy. While you’re launching through terrorizing traps and bending gravity to your will, Anti-Gravi, an atomic ball of rage, is barreling down on your position.
I have been the primary contributor to this project since 2021. I've been fixing known bugs and have updated the project to a newer unity version.
