About Me

As a dedicated Games Programmer, I specialize in C/C++ and C#, with extensive hands-on experience in Unity and Unreal Engine 5. Beyond building interactive 2D and 3D experiences, I've contributed to end-to-end QA pipelines—demonstrating a keen eye for critical issues and performance bottlenecks to elevate both gameplay and technical stability.

In my roles as Compliance and Functional QA Technician at Universally Speaking, I partner with development teams to validate feature compliance, pinpoint functionality gaps, and enforce quality benchmarks on both released and unreleased titles. I extend my craft into public beta testing, refining my testing methodologies and staying at the forefront of emerging game trends.

Innovation fuels my work: I thrive on crafting clear technical documentation, designing robust training material and guiding teams through complex processes. Whether managing multifaceted projects or collaborating across departments, I bring precision, adaptability, and a passion for transformative player experiences.
