About me
Hello, I'm Skylar Masson. I am a Software Engineer and Game Developer who loves writing code to create various amounts of Games, Mobile Apps, Windows Apps, and many different Software Applications.
I recently graduated with my B.S in Computer Information Systems with a concentration in Application Development. Prior to that I graduated with my A.A.S in Computer Information Technology with a concentration in Programming. In 2018, I graduated from Digital Media Institute with a Certificate in Interactive Software Development where we focused on the Unity3D engine and C# creating a few different games in select genre's. Throughout my time in school, I learned secure programming principles, data structures, different design concepts, programming paradigms, and object-oriented programming with multiple languages on different platforms.
I strive to be a great programmer and want to learn as much as possible!
