Working with Unity3D on multiple projects, I gained valuable insights on the process of game development and the use of specific tools and frameworks. My experience ranges from the core scene setup and rendering to many systems including Physics, Animation, UI and editor scripts. I take pride in writing clean, well crafted code that can perform across different platforms.

14 years experience

I have been using C# since 2005, first doing windows apps and later on writing Unity code.
