Wandipa Marema

I am an aspiring Gameplay Programmer with a solid foundation in Object-Oriented programming and a strong passion for creating engaging player experiences. My journey began at Vega School, where I combined academic knowledge with practical workplace experiences during my Work Integrated Learning. There, I designed a game that educates players on habitat destruction caused by urbanization, pollution, and climate change, showcasing my ability to blend creativity with technical skills.

Throughout my experience, I have participated in various game jams, where I developed game prototypes both solo and in diverse teams under tight deadlines. This experience honed my skills in designing and implementing gameplay mechanics while creatively solving technical and design challenges. Additionally, I contributed to an open-source project by developing a time-tracking app using Android Studio and Kotlin, which further enhanced my coding skills and ability to collaborate effectively with peers.

My commitment to maintaining positivity, ethics, and accountability in all interactions has been a cornerstone of my professional ethos. I am eager to leverage my technical expertise and collaborative spirit to contribute to innovative projects that enhance player experiences.
