ABOUT ME
My name is Elliott Schultz and I am a senior at NC State University, majoring in Computer Science with a concentration in Game Development. I am interested in working as Gameplay Programmer with a particular interest in designing the interactions between game systems (player and the environment, AI and the environment, AI and other AI, etc.).
​
I have around 4 years of personal and educational experience creating games, many of which you can learn about on this website. I also have around 1.5 years of professional experience working in an immersive environment which is showcased on my SEE Internship page.
