About me

About me

As a passionate game developer and iOS developer, I've had the privilege of turning creative ideas into engaging digital experiences. My journey in game development, particularly as a Gameplay Programmer, has allowed me to contribute to exciting titles like Transformers: Galactic Trials, where I brought gameplay features to life using Unreal Engine 4 and 5. On the other side of the spectrum, my role at KRNL has honed my skills in iOS development, where I specialize in crafting innovative, AI-driven applications like Loopsie and Sharp-AI. My work is driven by a deep love for both fields, constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible in digital entertainment and mobile technology.
