About Me
What’s up!? My name is Derek, and I love expressing my creativity and problem-solving skills through programming! Since I was a kid, games have been a driving force in my pursuit of education and personal development as a software engineer.
In 2024, I achieved my M.S. in Computer Science from California State University Fullerton, where I wrote my thesis on the impact of latency compensation techniques for multiplayer online games. I aim to become an expert in multiplayer game networking and I aspire to create incredible online gaming experiences!
Here are some of my strongest skills:
- Godot
- Unreal Engine
- C++
- Python
- Go
- JavaScript
- AWS
- Azure
