What I'm looking for

I am seeking game programming roles focused on multiplayer and VR/AR development where I can work on engine-level C++ systems, graphics or simulation, collaborate closely with QA and cross-functional teams, and continue growing technically.

I am a game programmer with a Master of Science in Computing from the University of Zagreb, currently working at Gamepires on SCUM where I develop features in Unreal Engine 4.27 using C++ and SQLite and collaborate closely with QA and other teams.

My experience spans VR/AR/MR and multiplayer development using Unity and Unreal, creating projects such as OVRseer, VirtualLabFriends, CATch Cafe, and several procedurally-generated VR escape rooms; I also implemented advanced 3D graphics algorithms and simulation software during industry internships.

I have been recognized with academic awards for student research, enjoy solving complex bugs and optimizing code and databases, and bring a pragmatic, collaborative approach to shipping polished interactive experiences.
