About me
I am a Game Developer with hands-on experience in Unity (C#) and Unreal Engine (C++), currently pursuing a Master’s in Mobile Computing. I am skilled in problem-solving, debugging, and full-game development pipelines, from concept to deployment. I enjoy collaborative projects, contributing to gameplay mechanics, AI systems, and optimization, while continuously staying updated on the latest industry trends. My research experience includes developing customizable Digital Human avatars for digital customer interactions in the metaverse, where I led usability studies and contributed to publications on advanced avatar emotional engagement. I have also worked on various projects, including a 3D emotional puzzle game and a dark fantasy action-adventure game, where I developed core mechanics and optimized performance. I am passionate about creating engaging and immersive gaming experiences.
