A little about me
Curious by nature.
Technical by craft.
I’m Jackson, a software engineer with a BS/MS in Game Design and Development from Rochester Institute of Technology. My background combines programming, applied mathematics, and collaborative software development.
My experience spans C++ engine development, GPU simulation, browser-based applications, and automated research pipelines. I enjoy designing reusable components, debugging complex behavior, and understanding the tradeoffs behind an implementation.
