Matthew Breit
I am a game developer with 10 years of professional experience, divided between level design, environment art, and programming (mostly tools). I started making Doom levels when I was 12.
I'm currently looking to continue my career in a pure engineering role, putting my broad experience to work helping other talented developers make cool stuff.
