Hi, I'm Jaiden

I'm an engineer, designer, and independent game creator with 8 years of experience in the games & software industry.

I like to make games that bring a tiny bit of joy to people's lives.

These days I'm working at Niantic on Pokemon Go, trying to get people to go out, explore the world, and make new friends through the lens of Pokemon.

In the past, I've worked at Amazon on an internal game project, released ArrowBall on Steam in 2020, and made some award-winning game jam projects. You can find a full list of the things I've worked on on my portfolio page.

Sometimes I write about projects I'm working on or cool things I've learned about on my blog.

In addition to working on my own games, I volunteer my time with Seattle Indies to host social events for local game developers and provide mentorship to others starting out in the games industry.
