Are you struggling with platformer physics or controls, UI, saving and loading your game, Git, file parsing (text, spreadsheet, or other), project builds, or something else in your Unity C# or JavaScript web project?

If you're fighting with game dev or app development in Unity or JavaScript, let's connect. I have over 3 years under my belt as a professional video game programmer and over 10 years of web app programming experience. I've also volunteered with Games For Love to lead game dev teams and improve processes, won first place in one of the many game jams I've entered, and made a Stand-Up Bingo app so nobody's time is wasted.

I want to help you learn how to solve your problems, without solving your problems for you. You need to understand the "why" and not just the "how" so you can transfer your knowledge to new problems. If you'd like, we can even discuss multiple ways to solve your problem so you get a greater understanding of the tools available to you. After every tutoring session I want you to walk away feeling confident that you could solve the same problems again, faster, next time.

You can look me up on YouTube (JoshPowlison) to see to hear some of my advice and see if you'd like to meet with me one-on-one.

Computer Gaming

I worked for 3 years at an indie game studio in Unity C#. I've worked on procedural generation, developer tooling, automatic code generation, community management, videos updates, and have worked directly with art, audio, and level designers to help them get that they need in front of them. Besides my job, I've completed multiple game jam and full titles on the side and have been doing this since I was 9 years old. We use Unity at work, but I also have experience with older versions of GameMaker.
CSS,

CSS

I've worked on an international company's websites and worked with local creatives and businesses to improve their websites. These all required an understanding of CSS. I've also built several websites and worked on many personal projects which required CSS to work cross-browser. I have also worked a little bit in SASS.
HTML,

HTML

I've been using HTML since starting personal projects in 2014. As I continued to expand in CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and more, I became more and more comfortable with HTML and even the more obscure inline functionality available. I am very well-versed in HTML5 and the new features that have come along with it.
JavaScript,

JavaScript

I've rebuilt a distributor location system and cobuilt a product listing system with a cart, product comparisons, wishlists, and more. In addition, I've built a local app with Node.js for parsing messy CSV data and making some sense of it. I've also worked on a 5-star Chrome extension, a multifunction Discord (chat) bot, a multimedia web engine, and also numerous experiments and tests. All of these projects required JavaScript.

Encouraging and knowledgeable

Joshua helped me understand my assignment without doing any of it for me, which is exactly what I was looking for. I came away understanding the entire assignment, and he also sent me tips of things to look into to broaden my knowledge going forward. We used the online platform, and it worked great. Definitely recommend.

He is very knowledgeable and a patient tutor. I definitely recommend him for others to work with. He was flexible and willing to work with us to help us reach out goal on time.
