๐Ÿ” About Code Access

๐Ÿ’ผ For Employers, Recruiters, & Collaborators

Most of my work lives in private repositories to protect the IP behind SB Studios games, tools, and hardware projects. I'm a solo developer building original content from the ground up, from the game engine to the physical console.

๐Ÿ“ฉ Want to see the source code?
Send me a message! I'm happy to grant access or walk through the architecture, design decisions, and technical stack.
