About me

Software engineer with a focus on game engines, tooling, and automation. My passions include creating personal experiences in games, and encouraging others to do the same.

I work for modl.ai as a Senior Software Engineer. Previously, I was at Unity Technologies for 6 years.

Outside of work, I make short games, organise events for girls to learn game development, and mentor at Coder Dojo.

In 2018, I was honoured to be featured on the GamesIndustry.biz 100. I also had a game featured at AMaze Berlin as part of the Out Of The Frame game jam.
