About Me Hello, I'm John Busse. I'm a game programmer and software engineer. I received my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering, minored in Digital Interactive Games from the University of Nevada, Reno in May 2023.

Get to know me!

I spent about 5 years meandering through community college, trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. It was around 2017 that I realized I wanted to work in game design, and 2018 when I switched majors to Computer Science to make that happen.

Since graduating, I've been working on getting a job in the industry, and have been working on personal projects to expand my programming knowledge.
