About Me.
As a final-year student at Full Sail University, I'm specializing in game development and gameplay programming. My passion for games is rooted in a lifelong curiosity about how things work. This drive to understand and build is the foundation of my work, pushing me to not only create but also to master the tools and systems behind the player's experience. I excel at rapid prototyping, allowing me to quickly translate concepts into working prototypes and iterate on core gameplay loops with efficiency.
My portfolio is a reflection of my commitment to continuous learning and professional growth. While I am well-versed in Unreal Engine's Blueprint system, I am also actively expanding my skill set with C++ to broaden my capabilities as a programmer. I am seeking a role as a gameplay programmer where I can apply my dedication and problem-solving skills to contribute to a collaborative development team and help create the next generation of games.
