Hi, I'm Denis Faraci, a Gameplay Programmer based in Milan, Italy. I specialize in Unreal Engine and Unity, focusing on scalable gameplay systems, data-driven architectures, and modular frameworks for published titles. I enjoy collaborating with designers and artists, adapting to evolving workflows, and delivering clean, maintainable code both in teams and when working independently. Throughout my career I have shipped two games on Steam (with one near release) and contributed to projects across PC and indie platforms. I strive to push the boundaries of engine capabilities, implement robust multiplayer and UI systems, and continuously learn to deliver engaging player experiences.…Hi, I'm Denis Faraci, a Gameplay Programmer based in Milan, Italy.
