My name is Tyler Swietanski, and I'm a Game Designer & Programmer from Philadelphia.

I express my passion for game design through programming. Whether its prototyping a new mechanic, or building flexible systems to scale up an existing idea, I try to approach problems creatively through a technical lens.

While making visual assets are not my strong suit, I use my art and visual design training to inform my work, and see the big picture.

Game development is a group effort, and I wouldn't be where I am without teamwork. Communication might be the most important skill to have in our industry, so I try to lead through listening.

Working together to form a singular game vision is a incredibly fun and challenging, and I work everyday to improve at it.

This spring I will be graduating from Drexel University with a Bachelor in Game Design and Production, with a Minor in Computer Science.

I am currently working as the Technical Lead on Groundless, a game by root121 games. Groundless will be released in the Summer of 2018, and will be available on Steam, Xbox One, and Windows 10.
