00 — About Me
Reid
Covietz
I'm Reid. I grew up in Minnetonka, Minnesota and now live in Tempe, AZ, where I study Informatics/HCI Engineering at ASU with a game dev focus.
During the day I'm a developer at NetSirv. The rest of the time I'm making 3D scenes, planning a solo game project, doing design work, or building PCs.
Background
When I was in kindergarten, my mom surprised me with a brand new iMac for the two of us to use, and needless to say I became obsessed. I started by playing on PhotoBooth, experimenting on Scratch, and playing Lego Star Wars like it was my first job. I always wanted to get home from school so I could tinker more and more with this fascinating machine. This fueled the love that I have for computers today.
I've always loved building ever since I could remember, whether that was a new Lego set or Lincoln Logs, I always had the urge to create something new. Now whether it's a 3D environment, game prototype, software application, or a high-performance computer, I always make sure it's built with the utmost quality — and improving on these designs day by day.
The Setup
What I Do
Software Development
Full-stack web and app development. Currently building at NetSirv shipping APIs, improving UIs, and designing CRM-integrated applications.
3D Art
Environments, automotive renders, character models, and product visualization experience.
Game Development
Original games built in Unity, Unreal Engine, and full custom engines on MonoGame written in Visual Studio. I handle design, mechanics, shaders, and audio, and I'm currently in the planning phase for a solo dev project.
Graphic Design
Brand identity, apparel mockups, typography, and visual design for print and digital. I also build vector graphics in Illustrator for company vehicles, printed on vinyl.
PC Engineering
Custom high-performance PC builds for gaming, rendering, and development. Watercooling, overclocking, and component selection, plus running local LLMs and setting up automation on my own hardware.
Digital Art
Digital illustration and concept art spanning character design, environmental work, and original IP development for use in games and media.
3D Modeling for Printing
Functional models designed for FDM and resin printing: Raspberry Pi enclosures, custom computer parts, and everyday usable items.
