About Me
Howdy, and welcome to my portfolio website! I'm Katherine Byers, a video game engineer based out of Texas. I graduated with honors from the University of Texas at Austin in 2021 with a Bachelor of Science in Arts and Entertainment Technologies and have been working as a full-time engineer since then. I specialize in UI Engineering, but I enjoy all aspects of game development. I'm a huge fan of games and gaming, so any chance I get to learn or try something new is always exciting.
