About Me

I'm a 23 year old M.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering graduate with a passion for game development. The very concept of using science and engineering for creative expression has always fascinated me.


In the realm of game programming my expertise lies in C++ and C#. Although I have experience with both Unity and Unreal Engine, I tend to approach game programming in an engine agnostic way: I like learning how game engine architectures work and applying those concepts when working with any engine.


As a recent M.Sc. graduate in Computer Science and Engineering, I bring a robust C++/C# generalist skill set. My experience includes gameplay programming, graphics programming, tools development, audio middleware integration, and XR. My current strongest suit is gameplay programming, since that is where I have the most experience and I enjoy refining the small details that make gameplay feel smooth and satisfying.


Outside of programming, I have a strong interest in sound design and cinematic direction. I also enjoy analyzing games as I play them and understanding what makes them work (or not work).


I genuinely love to learn new things and take on new challenges, so if you would like to work together, please don't hesitate to reach out!
