I am Brendan Cottenham, a multi-disciplinary game developer with more than six years of experience developing games and applications.
I'm fluent in C++, C#, and Java. I'm working toward fluency in Node.js, SQL, HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript.
I'm skilled in Unreal Engine, Unity, and Photoshop. I currently have 3 games on the Apple App Store: ShapeQuest, Plane Jane, and Blockstar.
These games were written in Unity using C# and were made by Sledgebox, LLC, the company I'm part of with my father.
My major focus through school was computer development with a focus on games. During this time I excelled in many languages and tools having achieved the highest score possible on the AP Computer Science exam, which is Java-based.
