About Me

Hello! I'm Jay Kesner. I'm a North Carolina based independent game developer. Originally from Pennsylvania, I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 2011 with a focus in human-centered design.

After a few years working as a programmer analyst I began developing games using Unity. I started out with C# scripting for gameplay, learning the Unity scene and asset pipelines, and implementing the final touches for what a complete game requires.

Interested in mobile games, and with some help, I eventually shipped 3 titles for iOS on the App Store. I also became interested in Unreal Engine by participating in the community development of Unreal Tournament, joining some game jams, and releasing an asset pack on the Unreal Marketplace.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my partner and our dog Piper, going to the beach, playing music, cooking new things, checking out crafts, and supporting Pittsburgh Penguins hockey.
