Hello! My name is Joshua Nunez and I am a video game developer. While I prioritize programming, I have experience with many other fields in game development. I enjoying learning new and challenging areas and understanding new perspectives in every project. When I encounter an obstacle, I do not ponder on whether it is possible to implement, but another skill to have under my belt.

I have recently graduated UC Irvine with a Bachelors in Computer Game Science and am looking to get my foot into the industry!

I have played video games my entire life with my very first console being the Playstation 1. I enjoy all kinds of video games and can easily make my top 100 list. There hasn’t been a game I played that I didn’t find something to enjoy about it!
