About

I’m Denis Faraci, a Gameplay Systems Programmer based in Milan, focused on building scalable, reusable gameplay frameworks and data-driven systems. I’ve worked for 2+ years across Unreal Engine 5 (C++/Blueprints) and Unity (C#), with a strong emphasis on gameplay ability systems, AI architecture, and tools that help teams iterate faster.

I’ve shipped multiple titles, including Negative Edge, Weabot and Golem Rumble. My goal is always the same: turn complex gameplay ideas into clean, maintainable modules, whether it’s inventory, weapons, RPG mechanics, save systems, UI, or advanced planning AI like my data-driven VGOAP UE plugin.
