My name is David Welch Keliihoomalu. I am from the Big Island of Hawaii where I was a student at Seattle University. I graduated in June 2023 with a B.S in Computer Science and a minor in Finance. I've been playing video games my whole life and have formed many fond memories playing them together with my friends. Due to this, I want to pursue a career in game development while gaining additional experience in general software development.
