About Me

Hi, I'm Jarel Hearst, a game programmer based in Atlanta, Georgia.

Ever since I played Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, I knew programming and designing video games was the career I wanted to pursue.

It's not just first-person shooters, either. I enjoy RPGs, racing games, roguelikes—you name it, I've probably played something similar.

Of course, playing games and developing them are two completely different experiences. My programming journey began in college, where I earned my bachelor's degree in Computer Science. Since then, I've continued honing my skills by participating in game jams and developing small personal projects whenever I have the time.

I've worked with both Unreal Engine and Unity, but Unity is where I'm most experienced. I enjoy its approachable workflow and C# scripting, which allows me to quickly prototype and build polished gameplay systems.

I'm always excited to collaborate, learn, and contribute to creating memorable games. I hope we get the opportunity to work together on a project!
