I play video games since I can think and always wanted to create video games in a professional context. While I made my first games in school already, I choose to establish my own company in 2019 to professionalize it. Video games are my passion, and it is a desire for me to be able to understand game mechanics and the technological background in detail. I have a lot of experience working with foreign code, optimizing systems, refactoring code basis and reworking entire projects. I’m always willing to learn and cooperate to create the next big thing.
