About

I have been programming with Unity and other frameworks and languages for 14 years now, I focus on the backend of games, and I LOVE working with the A.I. for enemies and other NPCs. Currently I am skilled in Unity, C#, HLSL, OpenGL, Firebase, Construct 3, Unity Shaders, SQL, C++, Java, Python, Pyspark, Sharepoint, and Power Apps. My journey started when I was small playing Chicken Little on the Gameboy Advance. I somehow got stuck in the wall going through one of the levels. I was amazed and unsure how it happened, but that was a turning point in my life because I wanted to know why and I wanted to stop it in games I may make or play. I know now that it was a late collision detection, but since then, I've been coding for a total of 12 years with Unity by my side along with other frameworks and languages. Nowadays, I am in the pursuit of my Expert Programmer Unity Certification to further solidify my skills. I've created games and other programs as a sole developer under Magical Play Games. I've worked with Neural Networks and game functionality, while creating 95% of all my assets in Unity by myself. I also work as a freelancer outside of job schedule. I hope you resonate with my p
