me My name is Lucas Hampshire. I'm 26 years old and live in Ohio, USA. I'm very passionate about video games and technology!

I have an Associates Degree in Software Development from Columbus State Community College. I'm currently working as a Data Center Operator in downtown Columbus. I develop games, game mods, and 3D renders under my online alias, Tranquil. My friend and I co-founded Toxiquil Games, and published our first full game in August after a year of development. I am also a playtester for Red Hook Studios' game: Darkest Dungeon 2.

I am currently looking for work in the game development industry. My time as a Data Center Operator and Independent Game Developer have given me many relevant skills in the Software Development field. I have experience with Information Technology, programming in C#, working in the Unity game engine, business communications, Agile Project Management, and creative problem solving. I have worked on projects both remote and in person.

Aside from technology, my hobbies are origami, hiking, and collecting houseplants. I use origami as a form of creative expression and meditation. Hiking is a great way to get outdoors and get some exercise. My favorite hiking spot is Old Man's Cave in Hocking Hills, Ohio. I have a collection of about 20 houseplants with even more currently propagating! My personal favorite plant is the Monstera for its large, uniquely shaped leaves.

Notable Experiences

Through the Global Solutions Program, I worked with a team in Iraq to develop a prototype for a mobile app. This prototype was selected to be part of an IREX competition.
