About me

Just a little page about me.

Who I am

A life-long learner curious about the world and driven to help others learn. I am eager to build interactive learning experiences that simplifies complex ideas and enhances learning by connecting students to the content they learn. My hope is to make knowledge accessible to as many people as possible.

I am currently working as a freelance software developer. My current work is on a tool that uses Whisper AI to transcribe voice to text from just their mouse. You can find it here: https://github.com/SurajSSingh/SuperMouseAI

I graduated from UCI with a dual degree in Computer Game Science (B.S.) and Education Science (B.A.) and UIUC with a Masters of Computer Science; through my academic journey, I have worked through the video game development process, learned about how people learn, and built connections between the theoretical and application sides of computer science.

During my academic course work, I also worked as a coding instructor at Coding Minds Academy, where I provided guidance to K-12 students through the world of STEM using project-based lessons. Applying what I learned through my coursework, I passed on that knowledge and mentored students through development of their projects, from helping with writing a machine learning programming in Python, to developing video games with Unity and helping them release their game online.

I have volunteered time as a Unity programmer at P1 Virtual Civilization, an organization dedicated to building ethical virtual worlds. My contribution focused on fixing bugs and implementing features for the player-NPC interaction in the Skyjellies game. As new volunteers joined our organization, I have helped out with getting them oriented and ready to contribute.

Later on at P1, I became a team leader/lead programmer and help my team develop project from design sketches to working prototype demos within a couple of weeks. These are two game I lead development of: Keito and Eco Defender. Also, I served as lead adviser for other team, helping mentor them to produce awesome games. These includes: Runes vs Robots and License Master.

Preferred Pronouns

I prefer use of my name when ever possible (avoids confusion). However, these are acceptable pronouns:

1. he/him/his: _Example: His book, which was his since he was young, was not with him.

2. they/them/their/theirs: Example: Their book, which was theirs since they were young, was not with them.
