Hello, I’m

Unreal Engine Game Development

I began my game development journey in 2023 with CG Spectrum, one of the world’s leading game development schools. After transitioning from the ICT and Security industry, I collaborated with Wolf Den Games on Hunters Uprising, contributing to the development of co-op maps.

To further strengthen my capabilities, I completed 120+ hours of advanced Unreal Engine training on Udemy, expanding my skills in level design, environment creation, cinematic storytelling using Sequencer, game design fundamentals, animation and rigging, Niagara VFX, and motion design. I continuously seek opportunities to challenge myself and expand my technical and creative skill set within the game industry.

I am also part of LionsMaze, an in-house studio focused on horror-driven narrative experiences, where we are developing our original title Fractured Within. The studio also collaborates on short-term and full-time Unreal Engine projects, enabling us to build and deliver immersive gameplay experiences while continuing to experiment and innovate.

Prior to transitioning into game development, I spent over a decade in business development, gaining strong experience in strategy, collaboration, and client management. Game development has been a long-standing passion of mine, strongly influenced by titles such as Resident Evil, and I remain committed to growing within the industry and creating compelling interactive worlds.
