A 6y+ experienced gameplay programmer,
Efficient in gameplay programming for virtual reality headsets, with a keen eye on optimization.
Also fluent musician and pets lover.
Game Programmer / Designer in a variety of creative and technical fields of video games production, with experience in all aspects of game development from writing to designing to programming.
Especially creative in gameplay / tools programming, my goal is to find the "fun" value in your game as well as producing tools to speed up Level/Game designer's workflow.
Confortable in using Unity3D and Unreal Engine as my daily tools.
