Summary
I am a 23 year old transwoman and have been around computers my whole life. For as long as I can remember I have experimented with software and hardware engineering, and for the last 8 years I have been learning and growing as a developer. I've participated in multiple Game Jams, learning from each one and using new and different systems to develop. I am very experienced with Unity and Unreal Engine, with most of my recent development being on UE5. I have followed the development of BET and it's growth from the beginning and hope to bring another perspective in helping it grow in the future.
