Jason Carter's Blog

I am Jason Carter, aka WakeskaterX and am an indie game designer.

I graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Japanese and World Business, am a self taught programmer and work as a Stationary Engineer at Johnson Controls.

I am constantly learning new programming languages and skills, and making new games for my portfolio to either work as a Game Designer in the video game industry some day or eventually start my own indie video game company.
