About

November, 2018

​My name is Garin Richards, a native Hawaiian-Filipino currently living in Austin, TX.

My work history includes game development, systems administration, project management, and community outreach.

In the Spring of 2018 I received my Masters in Game Engineering from the University of Utah's Entertainment Arts and Engineering (EAE) program, a globally top ranked game studies program. 

I specialize in UI Engineering. Drawn to its immediate nature and how it presents the product to the player. I also empower my teams to create great experiences through tools and software meant to help the development process. 

In addition to my work in the tech fields, I also have a history of community service and dedication. I have spoken at and worked with a number of local educational institutions, technical fairs, and school district events to help perpetuate higher education. Also to highlight the importance of computer science, game development, and IT education in the state curriculum.

Also! I'm an avid concert goer and musician. Pop-punk, rock, ska, with the electric bass and guitar being my weapons of choice.
