About Me
I am a passionate and detail-oriented Game Designer with two years of experience crafting engaging, innovative, and user-centric game experiences. My expertise spans gameplay mechanics, level design, narrative integration, and system prototyping, all aimed at delivering impactful and memorable gaming experiences.
Currently, I specialize in designing levels and enemies for a third-person cover-based shooter, with a focus on environmental storytelling, player engagement, and balanced gameplay. My background includes the rapid development of games and levels across multiple genres, leading and coordinating a cross-functional team to meet strict milestones, and faithfully replicating real-world games and arcade gameplay—all while working within multiple engines like Unreal Engine 4/5 and Unity.
