What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth.

I am an experienced Senior Software Developer specializing in game development and full-stack web development. With a strong background in using technologies like Javascript, Pixi.js, React, and Twig, I have successfully launched multiple web games and applications, contributing to projects that enhance user engagement and learning experiences.

During my time at Primal Screen, I led the development of websites and games, collaborating with a talented team to deliver high-quality products. My role involved not only coding but also engaging in sprint planning and code reviews and ensuring that our projects met the highest standards. I take pride in creating tools that streamline workflows, such as an automated build pipeline that significantly improved our development speed.
