Hello, my name is Jarod Sjogren and I am currently a Gameplay Programmer II at Prophecy Games.
I graduated in May of 2019 with a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Georgia.
Gameplay Programmer and then Gameplay Programmer II working with Prophecy Games, a small studio in Alpharetta, GA. At Prophecy I have the opportunity to work on many of the core systems for the games we have produced while collaborating closely with the designers and artists. I have also worked as an interviewer and mentor for some of the newer gameplay programmers joining the company.
Gameplay Programmer with Project Tall Grass, an indie group creating an open world monster battling RPG. I was one of the lead developers and project founders, and I was one of the key decision makers when it came to the game's architecture and direction. Prior to starting at Prophecy Games, we were prototyping multiple alternatives for combat in the game. I have attached the two combat prototypes I developed above.
Data Analyst at State Farm Insurance, a Fortune 50 company, from May 2019 to July 2021. I served as the product owner and sole developer for my team's work intake site which was hosted on AWS. Alongside this, I spent my time serving as a solutions architect for business areas within State Farm during their transition from on-prem data sources to AWS.
