Damon S. Green II
Growing up in a family of educators I have always held a strong passion for learning. This desire for knowledge has pushed me to discover new hobbies, experiences and skills, and ultimately to share what information I have with others.
​
Since graduating from Florida State University with a double major in Classical Civilizations and Criminology in 2021, I myself have spent time in education, teaching Classical Latin as well as educating people on various animals through my time working with both zoos and wildlife conservation organizations.
​
Most recently, in November of 2025, I completed a degree in Computer Science focusing on video game development. I am currently looking for professional roles in video game development where I might further develop my programming and engineering skills in a team environment.
​
My goal is to join the games industry and learn from as many veterans and skilled developers as possible. My experience as a Classical Latin Teacher demonstrates my ability to break down complex topics in a clear, and detailed way, and have the ability to communicate those concepts in a digestible manner. I am ready to contribute in a dynamic team environment where I can learn and grow as a programmer and developer.
This is a picture of me and my best friend growing up, Dimitri. A couple years ago Dimitri posted a simple photo with an acronym that stuck with me: R.W.Y.C.A - "Remember What You Care About". It reminded me of a conversation that we had as kids; talking about video games, what our dream video game might be, and all the amazing things we would put into it, drawing upon all of our favorites for inspiration.
​
When he posted this, I was working a job that I had come to no longer enjoy. That simple phrase "Remember what you care about" helped me to make a massive change. I quit that job and returned to school to pursue a degree in video games, to chase my childhood dream of working in the games industry.
