Game Programmer/Designer
Hi!
Hey! I'm Kaylee, game programmer/designer, and as you've probably guess, you've found my portfolio! I have a life-long love of games, development, and programming. Ever since I was in the sixth grade, I have been honing by skills, constantly seeking to learn new tools and techniques. I frequently participate in game jams to keep my skills sharp, and I always have a new personal project or two in the background. I have worked extensively with Unity, GameMaker Studio, Unreal Engine 4 and 5, and Godot, but I am a fast learner when it comes to new tools. Since receiving my Master's Degree in Computer Engineering in 2017, I have also worked in full-stack web development, database systems, and general software development. I also organize charity speedrunning marathons. See some of my work below!
