About Me
Hi! I'm Dana. I'm a Software and Game Developer who recently graduated from the University of British Columbia with a Bachelor of Arts in Cognitive Systems and a minor in Applied Music Technology. I love coding, music, and gaming! Most recently, I worked as a Software Developer & Project Lead at the UBC Emerging Media Lab, where I led an interactive VR and desktop project. Throughout my degree and personal projects, I have focused on creating interactive sound and gameplay experiences through programming and design. My goal is to bring creative systems to life in immersive, playable worlds through game development, web tech, and technical leadership. In my spare time, I like to read books and play random PC games!

Certifications
Music
Music is a big part of my life as I've been singing since I was little and playing guitar since I was 14. Throughout high school, I performed in events like busking and concerts. I wanted to make sure I continued to nurture this passion alongside my tech interests, so I pursued a minor in Applied Music Technology at UBC. I also joined the UBC Music Initiative Club, where I met fellow music enthusiasts and had the chance to make music together!

Volleyball
I played a lot of volleyball as a child and participated in various tournaments up until middle school. This sport taught me the importance of teamwork and dedication. In university, I started playing recreationally with friends. In my fourth year, I started my own team and joined the UBC intramurals league! While I don't play often anymore, volleyball has been a great way for me to stay active and spend time with friends.
