I'm a passionate game developer and IT specialist with a strong technical background in IT and current Computer Science student. I bring hands-on experience in gameplay development with Unreal Engine (C++ and Blueprints), including combat systems, inventory, quests, and optimization techniques. As Lead Game Designer, I coordinated cross-functional teams, created detailed design documentation (GDD, TDD, UX flows), and led internal playtesting to refine game mechanics. Beyond programming and game development, I have solid experience in hardware/software maintenance, system troubleshooting, and customer support. I'm quick to learn, detail-oriented, and open to internships or freelance opportunities that push my skills further.
