About

With a background spanning both quality assurance and gameplay programming, I bring a dual perspective to game development. I've shipped titles as a QA specialist, identifying and documenting complex bugs across gameplay, UI, and multiplayer systems — and I've built those systems myself as a programmer.

My focus is on rapid prototyping, clean architecture, and systems that work reliably under real player conditions. Whether it's implementing AI behaviour, setting up multiplayer networking, or running structured test passes, I approach every task with the same goal: make the game better.
