Max Doak

Originally from Kingston, Ontario, I’ve called Victoria, British Columbia home since 2008 and truly embrace my life as a British Columbian at heart. A dedicated tech enthusiast, my days are often filled with coding, diving into video games, or enjoying a captivating fantasy film. When I'm not working on projects you can find me gaming with friends, enjoying the outdoors, or relaxing with my cat.

I thrive on troubleshooting and problem-solving, and I enjoy the challenge of finding solutions when others have moved on. This drive not only helps me enhance my own skills but also allows me to assist and inspire others. Eager to stay at the forefront of the ever-evolving tech landscape, I continually seek out opportunities to hone my expertise.

My passion extends to all things design, from crafting websites and creating artwork to video editing and 3D modeling. I aspire to channel this enthusiasm into a career as a 3D modeler and animator, contributing to the video game or movie industries in the future.

Academic Background

Interactive Media Developer Diploma - Camosun College 2022 - 2024

During my time in the Interactive Media Developer Program, I developed a strong foundation in programming, design, and communication. During the first term, I acquired essential skills in C#, HTML, CSS, and UI/UX design, with a strong emphasis on clear communication as a cornerstone of effective collaboration in the field. By the second term, my expertise expanded to include JavaScript, Unity, animation, and Maya Autodesk. I actively engaged in teamwork and regularly assisted my classmates with lab assignments and projects.

In my second year, I delved into React.js and deepened my understanding of Unity, SQL/Mongo, and React. I also explored VR development in Unity, Swift, and advanced UI/UX design using InDesign and Figma. This culminated in my Capstone project, which involved building a WordPress site for a dedicated non-profit organization.

Throughout the duration of the program, the importance of effective communication was stressed, teaching me that fostering collaboration and mutual support is crucial for success.
