About me

 

Hey I’m Neri, a game developer that’s been laser-focused on entering the games & interactive media industry since the 8th grade. Since then I’ve gone from President of the Game and Simulation club in Highschool to graduating with a M.S. in Interactive Entertainment from FIEA at UCF.

While preparing to enter the industry I’ve had the privilege to lead several teams and work on projects ranging from traditional entertainment-focused action games to naval navigation training simulators to scientific education VR experiences.

Now that I’ve entered the industry, I’m determined to contribute to shaping it into a healthier form founded on strong production practices and broader subject horizons.

One of my true passions is to help unite the Orlando games & interactive media community and encourage it grow into the space it truly can be. Most recently I’ve formed my own company to experiment with small projects, created OGID: a community discord for Orlando Games & Interactive Developers, and joined EA Orlando as a Technical Designer.

What’s the ‘NineDGuy’ All About?

To be brief, it's my universal username where you can find me across the web and it ties into my indie venture Ninth Dimension Games!

It actually originated from the MMORPG 9dragons which, while not the first nor last game to suck me in, was something I was pretty excited about around 6th grade when I started to establish my online presence. I’ve kept using it because I like that it ties where I am today back to my childhood gaming and helps to make me easy to find and recognize.
