Carlo (online tag Zenryoku) grew up with gaming in Rochester, New York and Mississauga, Ontario. A bonafide fiend for cinematic action experiences and cheeseburgers alike, he's forged many connections through video games over the years. As a former competitive fighting game player and holder of some respectable STG 1CCs, Carlo is deeply familiar with the depth of dialogue players can have with games. Although a machine learning engineer by trade, he's been working on various game jams, prototypes, and projects since late 2022. Primarily, Carlo functions as game director, designer, and programmer, but also writes/produces music, creates art, designs UI, markets... the whole indie game dev smörgåsbord. Carlo is working hard to make games that bring out the innate desire to play, and whose experiences can be a shared platform for others to make new connections.
