About

Howdy; I’m Evan. I’m a 25 year old game design student at the University of Advancing Technology, as well as a web developer/designer and software programmer. I currently reside in a small town outside of Champaign, Illinois. I have a passion for technology and science, and am particularly interested in working on (and playing with, obviously) massively multiplayer games, augmented realities and serious games.

I suppose my interest in social platforms was sparked at age 11 when I discovered CompuServe’s WorldsAway service. Needless to say, my parents were none too pleased with my love for the network after they got the service bill. The service, along with early experiences with games like Monkey Island, Loom and Myst settled things in my mind- this is the field I wanted to spend the rest of my life working with. It’s my career, my hobby, and my passion.

I’m trying to decide where I’ll head to after I graduate, though I would ultimately like to end up running my own game studio (doesn’t everyone in this industry?) If you’re in the gaming or social technology scene, drop me a line; I love to get insight from those in the industry.

Being a full time college student doesn’t leave me with enough time to take a full time position with anyone yet, but I do offer my web development skills on a freelance basis. My rates are very competitive, and I’m always happy to offer estimates. Feel free to browse my resume, see some of my past and present projects and drop me a line if you’d like to talk about working on a project together.
