John Ellis

Going by Dapperfex in some circles, I am Jack Ellis and Jack Ellis is me. My ultimate goal is to become an exceptional game designer and programmer, make awesome games for people to play, and give back to the great gaming industry that gave me so much when I was young, and still does to this day. To achieve this goal I am majoring in Game Design and Development at Kennesaw State University and volunteering for industry trade shows and events such as: Hi-Rez Expo, SIEGE (Southern Interactive Entertainment and Games Expo), Game Jam, and GDC. My current plan of action is to actively seek out QA and programming positions with local (Georgia) developers, such as Hi-Rez, Blue Mammoth, Tripwire, etc. while taking game design courses at KSU. Once my degree is earned and I've gained enough experience in the industry I plan to move forward as a gameplay programmer and designer, living out a long-yearned-for dream.
