My Experience
As a Game Programmer currently in my 4th semester of learning Game Programming at the Technical University of Cologne, I am a passionate developer with 3 years of experience in the field. During this time, I have worked on a number of solo projects and team projects as part of my university coursework, allowing me to build a solid foundation in C# programming language, Unity Engine, C++, and Unreal Engine (Blueprints).
I have also collaborated with University Bonn on a VR horror game for research purposes, which has further cemented my passion for VR development. I am eager to further develop my skills and apply my passion to future projects in game development.
