Background

About Josh Bowdoin

I’ve overcome more than a few challenges to get where I am. Growing up with epilepsy and vision and hearing difficulties, I was told that living a “normal” life might not be possible. But through persistence, I not only gained control over my health, I found purpose. That journey shaped how I see games. For some, they’re entertainment. For others, they’re a lifeline: a space to connect, learn, or escape. I believe games can be more than fun, they can be meaningful. I’m a game designer and developer with a degree in Computer Game Design & Development from Kennesaw State University, with a double minor in Software Engineering and Computer Science. I’ve done freelance work on gameplay systems, UI/UX, and technical prototyping, gaining hands-on experience across the pipeline in Unity and Unreal Engine. My strengths include: Gameplay programming (C++, C#, Blueprints) UI/UX design & logic (custom input systems, state-driven interfaces) 3D asset integration (Unity terrain tools, shader graphs, VFX, animation systems) Narrative systems and gameflow balancing Tools: Unity, Unreal Engine, Maya, iClone, GIMP, VEGAS Pro I’m currently seeking a full-time role or studio opportunity where I can contribute, learn, and keep growing. If you’re building something imaginative, challenging, or deeply player-focused, I’d love to connect. Portfolio:
