Hello there! I’m Thomas and I’m both an accomplished roblox developer with 12 years of experience and a professional teacher with 5 years of experience. I graduated from the University of South Carolina as president of the game developer club and with a B.S. in Computer Science in July 2023.
I have been on the Roblox platform for 16 years and have been developing on it for 12. I started off by teaching myself how to code before going on to develop a game with my brother that has been played by over 4.5 million different people! During this journey I ran into countless pitfalls that I struggled to overcome on my own. One of my favorite things about teaching is that I get to help aspiring game developers overcome these hurdles that I once struggled to cross.
This is part of what led me to become a teacher in college, remotely instructing students in grades 4-9 on how to use Roblox Studio. Even after graduating I continued to teach in my free time and plan to continue doing so. Over the course of 5 years I have helped build multiple curriculums and personally taught hundreds of students how to use Lua to program their own games.
With this experience I am able to quickly judge a student’s needs and use a blend of detailed explanations (the why and how, not just the what) with inquiry based learning (allowing the student to mess up and make their own mistakes before assisting) to help them learn and succeed.
