I've made a lot of games. These are some of those games

KEREM B'YAVNEH
Lead Engineer, Designer
Kerem B'Yavneh (Vineyard of Yavneh) was a casual farming simulator made for learning Jewish history, calendar, and tradition created for Frankel Jewish Academy. Players start from meager beginnings and grow their farm and family using quests, a complex economy, festivals, and many Jewish traditions like Peah and Shabbat. My involvement included gameplay programming as well as design and leading the creation of an online community functionality for player competition, quizzes and challenges managed by teachers. I also performed a lot of platform testing, gameplay balancing, performance optimization, and playtest managing.

GRUMPY SNOWMEN
Engineer, Designer
Grumpy Snowmen was originally created in 2012 as a fun game for alumni for the Michigan State Credit Union. You control Sparty, MSU's mascot and sling different sports balls at invading grumpy snowmen across campus while learning about the school's history. In classic slingshot fashion, you ramp up from simple balls to more advanced, multi-stage attacks. Featuring 24 levels, locations, 5 different types of balls, and online leaderboards, its fun for the whole family. I helped revamp UI, art, and added the new ball, the tennis ball, for its 2014 re-release as Grumpy Snowmen: Champions Edition.
TOP NOTCH TOWERS
Team Lead, Designer, Engineer
A game full of 150 blocks, over 50 levels, 3 time periods, 6 gamemodes, and tons of fun. You can be creative and build your own skyscraper or race against the clock to destroy a building in time. Featuring modes ranging from casual sandbox to find the bomb, players of all ages can explode and build to their heart's content. I led the team on this short project and creted the entire UI on top of developing the core systems for building and destroying.
