I love to create.

Starting at around age 11 as a self-taught programmer, I created games and websites on my own from what I learned from the internet—tackling a multitude of skills, including programming, game design, art, animation, 3d modeling, and whatever else I needed to create whatever I had in mind at the time. Since then, I've been fortunate to have many incredible experiences to further flesh out my knowledge.

During middle and high school, I had the opportunity to explore the world of programming through internships and interest-based projects. Through my projects, I was able to try my hand in many different areas, from websites to games to apps and more. Through interning, I was able to see what the application of my interests looks like in a professional setting, as well as work in teams with some wonderful and talented people.

I'm still exerting my knowledge by continuing to create whenever I can. I'm always looking for new and exciting opportunities where I can use the expertise I've attained over the years or try something new and learn skills to increase my creative skillset.

Skills

Video Game Design & Development: I have lots of experience making games. I have experience making and contributing to games while interning, as well as lots of solo experience making games on my own. I primarily use Unity and C# to make games, but I can also take my knowledge of game design and apply it to other languages and engines.
E.g.: Panda OS, UNE, and Project Wombo

VR Development: I have made several VR games and experiences for the Oculus Go, Oculus Quest, and Oculus Quest 2.
E.g.: ASportsGame2K20 VR

3D Modeling: I can use Blender to create 3D models for games or other projects. I can also texture and optimize meshes.
E.g.: ASportsGame2K20 VR and Minecraft Modding

Web Development: I can design and code responsive websites for mobile and the web. I can use either HTML, CSS, and JavaScript or Flutter and Dart.
E.g.: Michaud.Dev

And More!: I can also code with other languages including Python, JavaScript, Dart, and Java. For a more complete breakdown of my skills, including non-computer related stuff, you can download my CV below.
