Games have always been a passion of mine, and I have attempted to create or visualise my own ever since grasping basic use of pencil and paper. Blessed by the possibilities of modern game engines and toolsets I can ride the coaster of game design to the next level, creating what I have always dreamed of.

To me games are all about immersion – sensing, feeling, and believing. Because of the extreme power of the medium itself, a story can be experienced through the first person and actually revolve around the player, driven by his or her actions. It is therefore of utmost importance to continually motivate and stimulate the player to enter and remain in the dream. To achieve this effectively I concentrate on analysing how each asset and gameplay mechanic is perceived in order to purposefully bring the player into and experience the rush of specific emotional states.

Having worked extensively with a couple of game engines, mainly Valve Software’s Source and GoldSrc engines, I have accumulated valuable knowledge and experience about pipeline pitfalls and shortcuts which gives me a realistic view of how things are done efficiently.

I am currently looking for a job where I can work closely with a dedicated creative team as passionate about games as I, learn and evolve in unison and share the load.
