About
I make games for clients and for myself, mostly in Unreal Engine with C++ and Blueprints, and in Unity when a project calls for it. Over seven years and 40+ shipped projects I have built gameplay systems, game AI, multiplayer products, editor tools and published FAB Marketplace plugins, and the backends, web apps and mobile apps that sit around them.
Most of that work was solo or in small teams, under contract or fixed scope. Working that way taught me that scope makes or breaks a project, so I analyze it hard at the start, prototype the riskiest part first, and hold delivery to what was agreed. I am now looking for a full-time role inside a team with real code review.
