I founded CoreTV, an all-in-one entertainment platform designed to unify content feeds from 8+ social media platforms. Eliminating app-switching to make it effortless for users to discover, follow, and engage with their favorite creators, celebrities, influencers, and sports teams.
I developed Minecraft maps, created animated BlockBench 3D models, designed unique thumbnails, and edited gaming-based footage to showcase clients' brand and style in over 25 content creators' videos.
I managed a community of over 35,000 people, oversaw the development of a Minecraft community server with custom plugins and addons, and orchestrated marketing efforts, events, and giveaways to foster community growth.
I played a crucial role in testing the minigames developed for the official public launch, meticulously ensuring the absence of game-breaking bugs or errors and providing valuable suggestions for enhancing the user experience.
I collaborated with a team of three level designers to construct maps for Moose and Unspeakable Gaming, and developed custom mini-games within Minecraft, designed to be played in online gameplay videos.
I actively contributed to a team effort in creating urban city-style Minecraft builds, specifically designed for recording comedic gameplay videos by content creators.
I contributed as a level designer and terraformer, actively participating in team efforts to create and test engaging events for TommyInnit's Discord community. (Annual Holiday Events)
I played a crucial role in creating visually appealing websites for event information and charity fundraising, while also constructing sets for their digital events, ensuring a captivating experience for attendees.
I constructed sets for events tailored to Spifey's fanbase and player community, providing an immersive environment for his recordings and interactions.
As an official scripter, I developed and scripted quests that were featured on the production network, ensuring thorough testing of all scripts and updates intended for release on the network.

As a developer and builder with over 5 years of experience, I have worked positions ranging from a server developer to a map and build designer for some of the most inspiring content creators and creation teams to-date. I have dedicated myself to creating one-of-a-kind content for people to enjoy across the world.
A casual iPad gaming session at the soccer field quickly turned into what is a part-time job. Through gaming and online interactions I have been able to escape society and establish a voice in which I am proud of; one that aims to spark community interactions and enable others to express their voices by forging meaningful relationships! Now, I find myself starting content creation, developing Java programs, taking on leadership roles in multiple projects, and pursuing a Bachelor of Sciences for Computer Science at the University of Central Florida.
