I consider game development as a form of craftsmanship and work of art. Sometimes it's a puzzle, sometimes it's just plain fun. As indie developer, I feel accomplished while creating new tools for further game design and development. I crave for challenges in gameplay programming and tool making. In case of need for UI - I see no obstacles! I am passionate about building games and tools that empower designers and players alike. I enjoy mentoring teams, shaping gameplay systems, and delivering polished experiences across platforms (including PS4) while keeping a focus on robust tooling and scalable workflows.
