About me

Hello! My name is Cody Fenison and I'm a highly motivated summa cum laude graduate from SNHU’s Game Art & Development program, UNCA’s Interdisciplinary Studies program, with four additional degrees and nine certificates from CPCC's Simulation & Game Development program, alongside years of experience in the fields of game development and international education. Technical skills include level art & design, world-building, lighting, 3D modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation; as well as video/multimedia editing and teaching experience at the primary, international, and college levels. I am particularly passionate about immersive narrative-driven sci-fi, fantasy, and educational video games.

My software experience includes work in Unreal Engine 4 & 5, Unity, Maya, Blender, 3ds Max, ZBrush, Substance 3D Painter, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Animate, GitHub, Google Workspace, Adobe Suite, Office, as well as experience utilizing a variety of generative AI tools for concept previsualization. As a technology enthusiast, I constantly and rapidly learn new systems, applications, and tech, on and off the clock.

My experience includes developing educational immersive experiences for both the United Nations & my local college, alongside the development of sci-fi & narrative-based games, three years as a world-builder & 3D modeling assistant for Cause + Christi XR, a semester as an intern game development college instructor at CPCC, and two years as an AmeriCorps project manager & educator.

I'm also a world-traveler, having visited countries such as China, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, and Canada, in addition to numerous US cities, both for business and experience, with an eager willingness to relocate wherever my skills can best be applied.
