ABOUT MYSELF
I'm primarily interested in game design with a secondary interest in technical design, simply because I love playing and designing immersive games and I'm good at solving technical problems no matter the engine.
I'm innovative, curious and solution oriented. I build practical and trusting relations with everyone I work with and ask the relevant questions to better understand other's perspectives before speaking my own and I care about running things smoothly for others and myself. I'm an optimistic pragmatist that thinks in terms of problems and solutions, but also a dreamer that wants to push boundaries and explore new possibilities.
My ideal studio has a vibrant and connected company culture that knows how to get the best out of their crew, promotes and facilitates their employees' development and makes POWERFUL games.
Favorite games include: Expedition 33, Elden Ring, Hades, Slay the Spire, God of War Ragnarok
Professional values: pursue excellence, advance awareness of the issues, never stop learning, doubt yourself, everyone has something to contribute, respect other's time
