Perfect Inversion is a collaboration between Nick Ver Voort and
Nick St. Pierre (

and mystic, poetic lyrics".

Selkie is a game I created in 2 days for the 35th Ludum Dare game jam.
The theme for the jam was "shapeshift", so I created a game about the mythical
shapeshifting selkie. I created everything with the exception of the music. The
game engine was
Unity, I created the 3D models
in
Blender, and the texture graphics in Adobe
Photoshop.

navigate a small planet searching for Corgis. The game engine was

Lionfish Apps is my brand name for Android application development. This
was a major hobby of mine when I was in college. While I don't actively
develop apps anymore, I do maintain a few of them (notably my Phish Tabs app),
and I may choose to write more apps in the future. From my development work
on these I became proficient in the Android SDK, and in Google's ever-changing
design guidelines (see the Phish Tabs application for an example of my use
of the newest: Material Design).

My GitHub account has work done for UMass Lowell professor Fred Martin's research lab,
under the
isenseDev repositories.
This consisted of work on Android apps, and on a Ruby on Rails
webapp called iSENSE. Also to be found is work I did on an
OpenGL
graphics project for a college Graphics course. I co-wrote a particle effects
system and lighting engine in C++ using the OpenGL libraries.
