What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in an innovative game development team that values creativity and collaboration, where I can contribute my skills and grow professionally.

I am a highly creative and technically proficient Game Developer with a proven track record of designing and developing engaging gameplay experiences using Unreal Engine. My experience spans freelance and contract roles, where I have successfully collaborated with teams to create high-quality, optimized games. I possess strong skills in C++ and Blueprint scripting, alongside a solid understanding of game development principles and practices.

In my recent projects, I have taken on roles such as Unreal Engine Lead Developer and CTO for a metaverse ecommerce game, where I led the development process and integrated backend GraphQL API endpoints. My passion for game design is complemented by my ability to create and deliver educational content through published courses on platforms like Live education ecosystem and Udemy, showcasing my commitment to sharing knowledge and fostering growth in the gaming community.

As I seek to leverage my skills and experience, I am eager to contribute to the success of an innovative game development team. I thrive in collaborative environments and am dedicated to solving complex problems while pushing the boundaries of what is possible in game development.
