Welcome to my portfolio website, and thanks for checking it out!

My name is Terra Howard, and I’ve been a software developer for about 12 years. I’m both a United States citizen and a Canadian Permanent Resident. I’m currently looking for new employment around the Greater Toronto Area.

In the past, I’ve worked at Synacor for two separate stints from June 2023 to January 2026 and August 2015 to June 2021, I’ve worked at Unity as a Software Engineer from June 2021 to May 2023, and 5th Planet Games from June 2013 to January 2015.

I studied at Southern Methodist University and received my Bachelor of Science with a major in Computer Science in 2011, and I continued my studies at The Guildhall at SMU with a Master of Interactive Technology degree with a specialization in Software Development in 2013.

You know your Bartle-Crouch archetypes, right? I’m an Explorer, and it shows. In games, I’m usually the person that researches the mechanics in-depth to help out my friends optimize their builds, and outside of them, I have a continual love of learning. Programming is my main skill of trade, but on the side, I also enjoy painting in watercolor and reading up on fictional writing and cognitive psychology. I’m not just satisfied with functionality alone, I like understanding why something works and what the underlying implications are. I like being able to understand the nitty-gritty details of a complex topic enough to translate them to a higher-level five-minute version. I like making someone else’s job easier.
