Past Projects
A lot of my recent work has been in AAA which is often cloaked under a shadowy cloud of NDAs and paroled by ominous all-knowing corporate attorneys (think dementors, but with leather briefcase-satchels overflowing with litigation documentation, all written in Latin of course). So it suffices to say that I can't chat too much about that; but here is my work history including all those projects. These projects I made in my spare time.
Labors of love, and sometimes, rarely, profitable.

NSA Intern

My most controversial work to date! Boasting bans from both the App Store and Play Store, this is the game your parents warned you about. NSA Intern is a nasty political satire that details the intimate lives of homosexual terrorists, on the loose!

Candy Crush Clone
|
Funny story actually, I was in highschool and some folks asked me to make a Candy Crush clone to evaluate my candidacy to work at their company. They wanted it in HTML (that was probably one of the first red flags). Anyways, the company dissolved before I got an offer.
