Hello, my name is Jared Nolen and I'm a University of California Santa Cruz graduate with a bachelors in Computer Science Game Design. I'm passionate about game design and game programming and I'm currently looking for work. In the meantime I'm working on a variety of smaller projects, both solo and with a team of friends.
