Hello! My name is Jason Bloomfield.

3

I was born and raised in Jamaica.

4

I have always loved and been fascinated by video games, and the breathtaking feelings of accomplishment that they would create inside me.

5

That is why I am a Full Sail University student in the Game Development Bachelor of Science degree program.

6

The three companies and their games that helped me unlock my passion for videogames were: Sega with their Sonic the Hedgehog games, 20th Century Fox’s Fox Interactive with Croc games, and Rockstar Games with Grand theft Auto: Vice City.

7

However, it was Nintendo and their awe-inspiring games that made me want to be a videogame programmer.

8

As I was growing up, I discovered that I did not like design side of videogame development, due to my lack of capable drawing and modeling skills, and the monotonousness of their use.

9

I realized that I preferred the programming side.

10

As far back as I can remember, when asked “Where would you like to work?”, the first company that would come to mind would always Capcom, for some reason. To this day, Capcom still remains as one of my top employment choice, although I have not yet discovered why.

11

Other companies I would like to work include: Nintendo, Sega, Square Enix, Koei Tecmo, Atlus.

12

In addition, I would not mind working with smaller companies, or even with Indie game developers.

13

14

I am determined. When faced with a challenge I will do my very best in order to accomplish it.

15

I am a problem solver. I will always do my best to find a solution to a problem, whether I’m trying to figure it out in code, researching the problem online or in a book, or when discussing it with others.

16

I have good people and communication skills, and I will always contribute to a team.

17

I can be as patient as I need to be in order to fulfill a task. Despite any grievances I air, I will continue to be patient.

18

I am very detailed and organized with my work. I do this so it is easier for others to understand and change if necessary.

19

My brand mantra is “Aspiring Coding Soldier”.

20

I plan to use my programming skills and knowledge to make my way across the battlefield of the gaming industry. I will not stop until I claim victory and retire as a coding veteran.

21

22

Success, to me, means earning fulfillment by doing your best. Whether your goals are good or bad, you should always stand by and take pride in your work.
