About Me
From Submarines to Game Development
Full Sail University Graduate • February 2026
My Journey
I'm Marcus Daley, a Navy veteran transitioning from submarine mechanics and weapons systems to game development. After 9 years serving my country, I discovered my passion for programming when I realized I enjoyed thinking about code problems as much as I used to enjoy playing video games.
Having earned my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a Game Development concentration from Full Sail University (graduated February 2026), I specialize in tool programming, quality assurance, and graphics engineering for the game development industry.
My military background in systematic problem-solving and quality assurance provides a unique foundation for technical development work. I bring military-grade precision to game development quality standards, combining discipline with creative technical expertise.
