Skills

SUMMARY

Hi! I’m an upcoming Game Designer who loves building fun mechanics, creative puzzles, and exciting combat systems. I'm comfortable working in both Unreal Engine 5 and Unity, and I thrive in collaborative environments where design, art, and code come together to create memorable experiences.

My journey started with a background in Computer Science, which gave me a strong technical foundation, I honed my design skills through a Game Development diploma, where I worked on a variety of projects from 2D pixel platformers to third-person action games like No Keys Harmed, and even a quirky pizza delivery game. These experiences helped me become adaptable and quick at prototyping.

I’m especially inspired by games like Marvel Contest of Champions, Ori and the blind forest, God of War and Death’s Door. I love how they mix tight gameplay with emotional storytelling. That’s the kind of experience I want to help create.

Outside of game dev, I’m a huge fan of sports anime like Kuroko no Basket, Blue Lock, and Hajime no Ippo. They really fire me up creatively. I also enjoy editing and uploading gameplay videos on YouTube, it’s another way I like to connect with games and share my perspective.

My Games and Prototypes

Every game I’ve worked on is a reflection of something I wanted to explore whether it’s a strange idea, an emotion, or just a fun mechanic. This is where I bring together everything I love about design, storytelling, and gameplay. Each one has taught me something new, and I’m proud of how they’ve come to life.
