From logic to emotion
Technical Game Designer & Unity Developer I build games and the systems behind them. C# and Unity are my tools, but my background sits at the intersection of development and design — I've shipped live features, built internal tools, and worked directly with UA and design teams. I care about how a game feels, how it performs, and how it converts. I bridge creative vision with technical execution.

solo Developer
In 2020, I developed and released my first solo project FARO, a 2D puzzle-platformer made in Unity, as a way to apply everything I had self-taught about game design and development.
The game features 12 handcrafted levels set in a surreal floating archipelago populated by mechanical beings, where the player must activate teleporting beacons to return home.
Despite its simplicity, FARO reflects a strong attention to level design principles—especially inspired by the kishōtenketsu philosophy—along with a subtle, emergent narrative that came out naturally.
In Q2 of 2025 I started working on Project Armònia, a new solo project built in Unreal Engine with a stronger focus on storytelling, shaped by my experience and recent training in Narrative Design at Digital Bros Academy.
