Salsa Hessel-Robinson
I'm passionate about game systems. I love figuring out how to represent real world occurrences as engaging mechanics; I love tying narrative context to player actions and vice versa; most of all, I love figuring out how to synergize disparate systems into a cohesive whole.
I intimately understand both the syntax and logic of programming. While I'm fully capable of slapdashing a prototype to a testable state, I much prefer to structure my code with scalability and reusability in mind.
My largest project is Ride for Ruin: a Lord of the Rings mod for Hearts of Iron IV. I released RfR in 2022 and continue to develop new content in my free time.
I'm currently based in Philadelphia and am open to moving for work.
