Hey there!
My name is Deanna. Currently, I'm a Gameplay Engineer at Activision's High Moon Studios, working on the Call of Duty franchise.
I graduated from the University of Florida in 2021 with my bachelor's in Computer Science and a minor in Digital Arts & Sciences. Most of my professional work so far has revolved around game AI engineering (AI systems, state machines, behavior trees, navigation, etc.) but I love exploring & learning about all the other disciplines/aspects of game dev as well.
I also love digital art and have been doing freelance portraiture & design work on/off since 2016. (Check out my design brand Luck & Lynx on Instagram!)
My full resume is available upon request.
