About

Backend and game developer with experience across game design, project management, and lead development in multiple startups. I've built scalable systems, mobile games, and internal tools that improve data processing and team efficiency.

I've loved games for as long as I can remember — fascinated by how they let you shape entire worlds from nothing. That feeling of molding reality through design and systems stuck with me. Games merge storytelling, interactivity, and technology into something truly alive.

Now growing toward backend roles in live service games — a space where my technical and creative experience naturally meet. I see AI as a powerful force multiplier, but a tool that still needs a talented hand for the best results.
