About Me

Hey! My name is Kirk Daniel (he/him) and I am a Computer Science Major that has a concentration in Game Design at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.

Crew 
This word defines my approach as a project manager, producer, and creator. To me, a crew is a group of people united by shared goals, values, and experiences. I’ve been part of many crews, from my Filipino cultural club to my family as the eldest immigrant child, and to my lifelong identity as a gamer. 

In game development, I strive to build crews through play, bringing together people from diverse backgrounds to work toward a common vision. Whether I’m organizing sprints, managing cross-disciplinary teams, or facilitating collaboration between disciplines, my focus is on fostering an environment where every member’s contribution drives the project forward. 

Outside of production, I’m passionate about storytelling and culture. I’m an avid manga and anime fan—One Piece holds the top spot as my all-time favorite—and I enjoy games like Destiny, TFT, and League of Legends. I also love cooking dishes from around the world, sharing them with friends and family, and seeing the joy they bring.
