Hey there! I’m Jacob. 👋

🎮 Technical Designer @ Axis Games – Working on Axis Football 2026

🎓 Pursuing an M.S. in Interactive Entertainment at the Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy (FIEA), University of Central Florida – Expected Graduation: December 2026

🎓 B.S. in Computer Science with a Minor in Mathematics, Spring 2025 (Third-year senior) from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte

📌 About Me
I’m a game designer passionate about creating meaningful player experiences. I shipped my first game, EverStride, on iOS and Android, and since then have developed projects that range from narrative-driven adventures to advanced gameplay systems, always combining design and programming to bring ideas to life. I am now pursuing my M.S. at UCF’s FIEA, where I specialize in level and technical design, blending storytelling with systems to create engaging and memorable gameplay.


I thrive in collaborative environments, value feedback as fuel for growth, and believe the best games emerge when diverse teams challenge and inspire one another. My goal is simple: design worlds and systems that resonate with players long after they’ve put the controller down.
