“I never teach my pupils, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.”
– Albert E.
With this key area of my portfolio, I bring Best Practices and Optimization techniques.
Education
Unity is a versatile game engine that can be used for creating simulations, prototypes, and games. It supports both 2D and 3D elements and publishes to many popular platforms. Here are educational products to bring learning to your students.

3/4: Mentoring
Being a mentor involves guiding and supporting individuals through their personal and professional growth, often leveraging one’s own experiences to inspire others. In my career as a mentor, I have found that leadership and mentoring go hand in hand, especially in the fast-paced world of game development. From leading the personal growth and development on teams at Sybo Games and Saganworks to serving as a dedicated mentor at Mastered.com, I’ve had the opportunity to shape the journeys of both teams and individuals, helping them overcome challenges, develop skills, and excel in their fields.

4/4: Developer Relations
Demonstrate confidence and consistency in your product with high quality on-boarding and first time user experience (FTUE) design. Have your SDK/Tools be vetted and receive actionable feedback to improve the product. Custom sample projects, videos, and documentation will be delivered to attract, convert, and retain your developer-audience. This is a great fit for any Unity-related gaming product or SDK including Web3.
