Hi, I’m Cody Lourenco, a Computer Science student specializing in Game Development at Drury University, graduating in 2027. I am pursuing minors in Cyber Risk Management and Business Administration, which have shaped my interest in the production, organization, and long term planning side of game development. Originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, I am currently studying and competing as a student athlete in the United States.

I am currently leading a year long practicum project where I help manage development, coordinate team workflows, and guide the project from early concept through active production. This role has given me hands on experience with sprint planning, task tracking, cross discipline communication, and maintaining momentum toward milestones. As part of this practicum, I will be attending a professional game and immersive technology conference in Tampa Bay in February and March, where our project will be showcased in a real world industry setting.

My work focuses on understanding how games come together as complete products. While I enjoy development and technical problem solving, I am especially interested in how teams collaborate, how pipelines are structured, and how early production decisions impact the final player experience. I have worked with Unreal Engine, Unity, Jira, and GitHub to support both creative development and organized production workflows.

Outside of development, I compete in hockey and lacrosse while maintaining a 3.65 overall GPA. Balancing athletics alongside a demanding Computer Science curriculum has strengthened my time management, communication skills, and ability to perform under pressure.

My long term goal is to grow into a producer role where I can help teams stay aligned, solve problems early, and ship polished, high quality games. This portfolio highlights my projects, trailers, and production experience as I continue building toward internships and future opportunities in the game industry.
