About Me

I'm a Software Engineer with an M.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering, passionate about games, graphics, and low-level programming.


I am currently working in the automotive industry developing safety-critical C++ real-time software for vehicle ECUs. In my free, I enjoy studying game software architecture, graphics programming and general game development.
