Summary
I'm a software engineer. I specialize in multiplayer, AI and core systems development. I know both Unreal Engine and Unity pretty well. I love coding and doing technical stuff. Optimization and designing scalable and easy to use systems which perform well at the same time are some of my interests. Other than deep technical knowledge, I love philosophy, literature and humanities in general. I try to communicate well, improve every day and help my teammates to do the same.
