Thomas Paul Anderson
Driven by a sense of adventure and a mind hungry to be challenged, I am eagerly seeking opportunities to further expand and develop my diverse skillset. My passions lie in the fields of game design and artificial intelligence, as well as in sound design and electro-acoustic composition. Through my coursework at UC Santa Cruz and subsequent workplace and project experiences, I have had opportunities to perform in each of these fields, often while serving in a leadership position. This background, combined with an aptitude for writing and communication, a keen work ethic, and distinctive personality, would make me a solid asset to any team or project.
