Welcome! I'm Will, a Game Programmer & Designer with a flexible and diverse skillset. There are many aspects of programming that keep me doing what I do, but I find myself most drawn to gameplay & networking the most, as my favorite moments are those where you finally get to see the payoff of all the work you've been putting in.

I consider myself very detailed, and on my numerous personal projects that you can view here on my site, I've put hundreds of hours into sculpting them into my ideal vision, adjusting things repeatedly in accordance with breakthroughs, feedback, and cases where I just didn't feel they were yet where I wanted them.

In my personal time when I'm not coding, I gravitate towards puzzle games, strategy games, and roguelites, although at this point I've tried a good bit of everything, thanks to multiple friends who have introduced me to all sorts of other genres. I'm also actively Mythic raiding in World of Warcraft, and if you have any familiarity with that, you know just how much effort and group coordination goes into seeing success in that endeavor.
