Available to hire
Hi! I’m Diego, a game developer and software engineer based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. I design and implement gameplay systems in Unreal Engine (C++ & Blueprints), build prototypes for multiplayer networking and procedural generation, and craft UI/UX using Figma.
I love rapid prototyping, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and turning ideas into playable experiences. I run freelance game development projects, contribute to community events, and enjoy mentoring teams to ship compelling demos under tight deadlines.
