Tyler Shogren's Blog

Tyler is a Ph.D. candidate at North Carolina State University studying the chemistry of advanced carbon materials. His interest in games is primarily personal, but he hopes to one day develop some ideas into educational chemistry games. He has breifly moonlighted in the video game industry working as a QA tester at Atlus USA on Snowboard Kids DS and Steambot Chronicles for PS2.

He's open to consulting.
