Software Developer & Game Programmer

About Me

Let Me Introduce Myself

I have 5+ years of programming experience in software development following my passion for building amazing things with code. Capable of working independently and with a multidisciplinary team. Always demonstrating proactivity and advocacy of following best software engineering practices and architecture

I invested my last year in C++ and C# game development leveraged by my knowledge in front end and back end technologies. I've gone through the entire game production pipeline, focusing on gameplay programming for the most part.
