I'm Charlie O’Shea, an indie game developer focused on rapid, small-scale experiences. I design and build across the stack, from concept to polish, with a passion for nimble prototyping and playable ideas. I approach games from multiple angles, blending design, art, and programming to ship small but meaningful experiences. Collaborating with teams or solo, I enjoy iterating quickly, learning new tools, and turning rough concepts into polished prototypes through strong project management and hands-on work with Godot, Unreal, Unity Blender, and the Adobe suite.
