My journey began with a year studying Computer Science at the University of Kent, specializing in Cybersecurity. While I engaged in software engineering projects,
including programming in Java and web development with PHP and SQL, I quickly realized that my true passion was
elsewhere. Despite a strong interest in cybersecurity through many personal projects such as ethical hacking
including SQL
injection techniques, I found myself increasingly drawn to the arts and game development, a passion I had always
wanted.
Since November 2023, I've been working as a self-employed
Game (Map) Developer for Epic Games. In this role, I lead a dynamic team of nine under the prestigious Island
Creator program, managing twelve diverse projects and overseeing both creative and technical aspects from concept to
execution.
My work involves utilizing tools like Trello, Microsoft Whiteboard, Miro, and Discord to foster collaboration and
innovation. I am committed to creating engaging user experiences while ensuring every team member's voice is heard
and valued. This role has solidified my belief that game development is where my true passion and skills converge.
With a goal to further deepen the management role, I aspire to
lead a team and create my own game one day. My journey reflects a unique blend of technical expertise, creative
insight, and
leadership, positioning me to tackle the challenges of game development and innovate in this ever-evolving industry.
