I’ve been in game development since 2015, starting as a Unity programmer and expanding into 3D modelling, environment art, and Unreal Engine production over the years. I’ve worked on mobile titles, VR/AR museum experiences, and larger commercial projects—including: Relevant Experience ✔ Lead Programmer & Technical Designer — “Go Home Annie” Demo (Steam Release) I was the sole programmer on this horror title during its Demo phase and collaborated closely with the creator on 3D modelling, environmental design, gameplay systems, and optimization. This project reflects my ability to own an entire technical stack, ensure code quality, and translate vision into a functional product. ✔ AR Developer — “The Silence that Tore Down the Monument” (Europa Nostra Award Winner) I developed the full AR experience. Over the last year, I’ve been deeply exploring UEFN, Verse, systems scripting, UEFN databases, and Creative ecosystem constraints. I’ve built several unpublished prototypes—some small mechanic tests, some larger systems—and released one Halloween-themed map to understand publishing, memory limits, and discovery workflows. My background in Unity scripting and Unreal Blueprint concepts made Verse a natural extension, and I’m now comfortable building: Gameplay systems and interactive logic Data-driven mechanics using UEFN databases Modular and scalable systems designed for iteration Levels that balance gameplay readability, pacing, and performance
