About Max Gomez

In 2006, while most kids were playing with blocks, I was learning to navigate the internet. At three, my uncle showed up at my house with a custom-built computer. I was immediately hooked. My passion only grew. My Halloween costumes included a Minecraft Creeper, Ness from EarthBound, and a Splatoon Inkling. I've enjoyed a variety of game genres but some of my favorites have been platformers, rhythm games, and RPGs. My top favorite games are Fortnite, Guitar Hero 3, and Undertale. I also collect vintage gaming systems. Northern New Jersey is my home but my passion for technology and game development brought me to Rochester Institute of Technology. I am currently a sophomore working towards a Bachelor of Science in Game Design and Development. I am passionate about the industry and have experience programming and designing using C#, JavaScript, Java, HTML, CSS, MonoGame, Visual Studio, Unity, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Maya, Github, and Git. My previous work experience is varied. I worked in customer service at the YMCA where I was a key holder, trusted with the facilities. I worked with a team, providing excellent customer service and public relations to current and prospective clients. I don't mind getting my hands dirty. For several summers, I worked maintenance at the community pool where I serviced and repaired pool equipment. I also managed the facilities, responding to safety and operational concerns. When I'm not working, I love to lose myself in rhythm games. This summer, I hope to complete an internship that will provide real-world experience and add important technological skills to my toolbox. I am invested in building the skills needed to be a successful game designer in the video game industry. I've been working hard and I am ready to show what I can do!
