Robert Casey Lafferty
I am an experienced video game developer and software engineer with hands-on experience in projects like Call of Duty, casino slot machines, and military weapon systems. Holding both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Computer Science, I focused my studies on cyber security and video game development.
In addition to my industry background, I have spent eight years as an educator and tutor, with three years as an online tutor, two years as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, and three years as an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant, helping students in the field of computer science and various core subjects. My interests encompass game development, software development, cyber security, artificial intelligence, web development, and more.
The Three Mutineers (Unity C#)
The Three Mutineers is a 2D three-player cooperative game developed at the 2019 Texas A&M Chillennium Game Jam. Two teammates used Adobe Photoshop to hand-craft the art for characters and scenery while I focused primarily on puzzle mechanics, scripts to program the puzzles, movement, and tilemap manipulation.
