Hi, I'm Karen!  

I am a passionate, hardworking and team-oriented programmer and designer who strives to write clean code with a focus on AI. A project I have been working on is  A Journey For Love. It is a text-based dating simulation game using C++. My goal is to create a game that will help people with social communication deficits like autism.

My passion for game development stems from my desire to create interactive experiences that are not only fun, but also have a positive impact on people's lives. 

I graduated from the Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy (FIEA) where I spent time gaining experience implementing systems on small projects where I was the only programmer developer to larger projects where I was one of 8 programmers on the team. My time at FIEA helped me understand the depth of "fun" in game design as well as put in practice the tools and methodologies behind video game creation. It was at FIEA that I felt the desire to learn more about AI, their systems and techniques. I now hope to create cutting-edge AI systems that light up the eyes of players in the virtual worlds I help create.

I am currently looking to work for an inspiring company with a team of highly knowledgeable programmers that I can learn from and create with. I hope to assist in building systems that will have every player feel like they were created just for them.

I am excited to hear from you!
