I am a Game Developer who loves the complexity of RPGs. With a Master's degree in Game Programming and a dual background in low-level C++ and Unity development, I enjoy bridging the gap between engine performance and fun gameplay mechanics. Whether it's coding complex NPC behaviors, managing inventory systems, or debugging physics interactions, I love solving the puzzles that bring a world to life.
