Colton Keiser

Grew up in a rural area of central Illinois. Graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelor’s in Information Sciences and a Minor in Game Studies and Design in Spring 2024. Currently working as a Senior IT Auditor for a consulting firm while also involved in their internal application/tool development team as a python backend developer in St.Louis, MO.

Some of my gaming interests recently have been a mixture of indie and AAA titles including Slay the Spire, Hollow Knight, Balatro, League of Legends and Marvel Rivals. My favorite game series is Nintendo’s “Pikmin”, a fun mixture of an RTS, puzzle, and adventure. With an interesting art style and engaging level design.

My career and educational goals would involve working in the game industry in a technical design role, being able to design mechanics, features and more while also contributing from a programming/scripting perspective.

In my free time I enjoy learning new technical skills, gaming, reading and a mixture of weight and endurance training. I have run a couple 5k and 10ks this year. Additionally, pursuing a Unity junior developer and a Microsoft Power Platforms certification as well.
