What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a dynamic team where I can contribute to innovative game projects and grow my skills in game development.

I'm a passionate game programmer with over 12 years of experience working with American companies. My expertise lies in producing source codes using C++ and Blueprints, as well as creating HUDs, VFX, and animations. I have a deep understanding of programming across various areas, primarily focusing on game development in Unreal Engine 4 and 5.

Throughout my career, I have successfully developed and published multiple games, including multiplayer shooters and mobile games. My projects showcase my skills in C++ coding, AI behavior trees, level design, and optimization. I thrive in collaborative environments and am always eager to learn new technologies and techniques to enhance my work.
