About

From combat design to playable systems, from a prototype to a Steam release.

Combat is my strongest area: the decisions behind an attack, the timing of a combo, and how abilities, animation and enemy behavior work together. I designed and implemented Fatebound's melee combat through its internal prototype stage and helped bring Carnival of Souls to Steam. My work spans C++ and Blueprints, multiplayer, editor tools and hands-on production leadership. Alongside games, I'm developing CycleFit and Gjej-Bej as independent mobile products.
