I'm a tinkerer and a problem solver. While I have always had a knack for writing code, design has historically been a bit of a challenge. Because of this I decided to attend the Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta and learn that which I could readily teach myself.
Video games and effects are at the heart of what I do. I will be graduating from SCAD with a degree in Interactive Design and Game Development with a minor in Visual Effects. Post-SCAD plans include graduate school at Georgia Tech in Computer Science with focus on Graphics, Simulation, and AI.
Going to SCAD I have become very adept with many things from C/C++, Renderman and Maya/Houdini scripts to a variety of web and related platforms (HTML5, CSS3, Java, ActionScript, PHP). If you have questions or comments, just drop me a line at robert [at] codersplayground.net
