Meet the Developers

Freddie Sanchez

Co-Founder · Developer

Hello! My name is Freddie. I’m currently an Information Science and Technology (IST) student at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. I co-founded Dead Signal Studios alongside my good friend Joshua, driven by our shared passion for game development and similar creative interests. Together, we aim to create immersive and meaningful interactive experiences.

I consider myself a well-rounded developer, with experience across multiple areas of development. I’ve worked with Unreal Engine 5 (Blueprints), and I also create assets using Blender, design textures in Photoshop, and build UI/UX elements as part of my projects. Beyond game development, I have experience in web and software development using technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Java, C, and MySQL. I’ve worked on a variety of projects, including personal Discord bots, a visual prototype of a habit-tracking app using Figma, and a personal inventory system. I’m passionate about creating, learning, and bringing ideas to life through both technical and creative work.

Joshua Thaisananikone

Co-Founder · Developer

Hello there, my name is Joshua or Josh. I am a Computer Science student at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I co-founded this game studio with Freddie when I realized that our combined interest in game dev could lead to big things. Prior to the founding of this game studio, I involved myself in game development during high school with Scratch. In college, I began developing games officially using Roblox. On Roblox, I released two games: Woodcutting Clicker and "Escape!". I am also a VR developer and developed a arcade shooter game called "Winter Boogie" in my VR class that won me an internship opportunity at Discovery World, a STEM museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I am proud to be bringing my expertise to this company and look forward to the future.
